From www.dictionary.com and a few other places I didn't bother to copy (cause I don't believe in Wikipedia......)

bru⋅net  /bruˈnɛt/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [broo-net] Show IPA
–adjective 1. (esp. of a male) brunette.

–noun 2. a person, usually a male, with dark hair and, often, dark eyes and darkish or olive skin.

Origin:
1885–90; < F, equiv. to brun brown + -et -et

I know the word exists and what its etymology is. If pushed I might admit to French as a second language even.

Pep (But as I said, I have never ever seen it actually used before, in English. Has anyone?)

Do people ever even use it when talking about men?

"What does her husband look like?"
"He's a tall, lanky brunette."

???


Isa (Who's never heard brunette used to describe a man in English before.) :p
