browning
slang expression for to appease, spin off from the phrase "brown tongue" stemming from Yiddish expression of "tuches licker".
Originated following the decision of Great Britain in 2009 to dialogue with the Hamas terror group and Prime Minister George Brown's decision to justify same.
"Did you read about it? England will be contacting the Hamas political wing but all they're doing is browning."
