“馬屁精”，中文俗語(yǔ)，就是指專(zhuān)門(mén)給人“拍馬屁”的人，比喻為獲取利益而阿諛?lè)畛姓?，含貶義。與英文習(xí)語(yǔ)brown-noser同義，表示“ One who seeks out the approval, attention, and/or support of others, especially superiors, through abject subservience, flattery, or fawning”。

而“拍馬屁”可以翻譯為“brown-nose”，表示“try to curry favor with someone through flattery or favors in the hopes of getting something in return”。
