    Brown Noser

    But I guess "Brown," here, is actually modifying "Noser," woops!  :)

    I think I'll leave it though. I love the color brown.

    It’s a descriptive word that modifies the color black. 

    It also refers to tar.

    (I never quite knew, either, but I've always heard it. And it always seemed to refer to very, very dark; like the darkness of an underground cavern.)

    And, for sure, it was my favorite Mountain Dew flavor variation! Mountain Dew and dark grape soda! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!  :)
