Damn! That's such a part of everyday life it completely slipped my mind.

Busterb's right - it's known as the Brown Process and is split into two activities: Brown Nosing - where the would be philanthropist seeks recognition by sucking u-, no, no, by supporting his chosen party leader to favour him, and then there's: Brown Enveloping: the activity of making a gesture by means of payment, gift or other means as a sign of thanks when the sought recognition has been provided (although sometimes this second element may precede recognition and it then becomes slightly muddled with the first element).
