    I was such an oblivious person so that I forgot that he was a brown noser and made a friend with him.

    That is a good slang. But I think it should be complimenting instead of complementing. Right?

    @Hasina Ella So when we say you are a brown noser, it means you kiss people's bums or their butts.马屁精
