Interesting. Going through www.dictionary.com, to Webster's Revised
Unabridged Dictionary, brunette comes from the French, as a dimunitive of
brune. So I guess us brown-hair men are brunes, or maybe bruins.
But the interesting part is the definition refers to the female's
complexion, not her hair color.
