"Brick" is a Compliment

When I first read the boy's line, I finished with that Ben Folds song "and I'm drowning slooooowly..... off the coast and I'm heading nowherrrrrre...." But then I finished my self-serenading and did a little research. Yup, Ben got it wrong. A "brick" is actually defined as "a good fellow; helpful and trustworthy." It sure didn't sound like much of a compliment to me, but there you go.

Nice hair, "Brick."
