"Brownie points" are nonsense "points" that you earn for going above and beyond the job. If you do more than you are expected to do, you could earn "brownie points" from your boss or your teacher. The origin is from the phrase "brown nose," meaning someone who "kisses your butt" in order to please you. The expectation is that your "brownie points" will result in the authority figure feeling more kindly toward you and helping you out in the future.
