Is that actually a thing? Never heard of it. Where does it come from? When all the lights go out it turms black, what does the brown refer to?

I just looked it up, apparently a brownout is when you still get some amount of electricity (just not much of it) and a blackout means none at all

The clue "to suck up" is a bit too ambiguous for my taste. If I had gone down the road of ingratiating oneself to a superior and not toward vacuums and straws, I surely would have gotten it.

Nah, that'd put him on guard. Merely attempting to humorously use another version of suck up to add to the ambiguity.

Maybe something like "to suck up TO SOMEONE" would be better

A great quiz, thank you, however, I was perturbed that "white horses" was not accepted for "Wave with a crest of foam".

I didn't think it would be wrong. "Whitewater" is acceptable as far as I'm concerned, so would match the one word requirement.

Whitewater is too rough to have distinct waves on which one can make out a crest. Come on.

Could Evergreen have a clearer clue? There are many types of evergreen, of which conifer is one type...so I was thinking of species rather than a broader definition.

Can you name an "evergreen" tree that is not coniferous? These are virtually synonyms, though there are a few exceptions

Trees in tropical areas are mostly broadleaf and evergreen. The association between deciduousness and broadleaf trees is only strong in temperate and boreal places that have very distinct seasonal changes or extreme heat that causes them to lose their leaves on summer.

Albeit more rare, there are also deciduous conifers like Larches.

I think the question is okay, but it is more ambiguous to people in the southern hemisphere and the topics. And answers like white pine or redwood or redcedar also fit the clue.

I think greenhorn just means someone who is new to something and a bit naïve.
