Expression "Brown nosing"?

Question

What does this term mean?

Someone said that I am kind of person that is "browing nosing"

Answer 1

To "Brown Nose" means that you are agreeing to everything that your superior has suggested in an attempt to "get ahead" without effort. In other words, you are "kissing his behind" and, as a result, your nose becomes a bit brown from the accumulation of stuff from his anus.

Another term that means the same but is less derogatory is a "yes man". A "Yes Man" is a person who, no matter what his superior states or suggests, will agree in order to maintain a favorable relationship to advance within the organization.

Here's the expaination from:

Many people know its origin; the hard part is explaining it delicately.
The Dictionary of American Slang labels "brown-nose" as taboo and defines it as "to curry favor with a superior."
The image that generated this expression is of an underling who kisses a superior, but not on the mouth, and gets his or her nose dirty as a consequence.
