The bad credit generated from an unfavorable deed or action, often without intent...

I had a few too many at Dave's bucks party, passed out and peed in the bed while Jane was asleep next to me, serious inverse brownie points...

Brownie Points

Brownie points are things that you keep track of yourself when talking to your crush or someone you're into. You gain brownie points when you say nice things or joke around with them and they accept the joke. You can also lose brownie points by saying something insulting or rude that the person would most likely take offense to.

"I just gained brownie points with him!"

"I just lost attention by making that joke."

weak sauce brownie points

Commonly used word by Montclair, New Jersey teenagers, usually those who think that they're cool enough to create a new slang term.

If you live in Montclair and think you're really cool you will use this word for no reason when in reality no one really knows what it means.

"Yo son, you're buggin'"
"Trillz. Weak sauce brownie points."

brownie points

Unexpected credit bestowed for a deed or action resulting in special favor of the recipient in the brownie point giver's eyes. Negative brownie points are also avaliable and can also deduct from the brownie point count (which is never really accurate in the first place).

Adriel tried to earn brownie points for prizes but soon discovered the joy in earning brownie points is that there are no prizes, only accumulating credit resulting in the warmed heart of his friends.
