Morphology
take + the + Browns + to + the + Super + Bowl
This is a humorous, culture-specific euphemism whose meaning ('to defecate') cannot be derived from the literal meanings of 'take', 'Browns', and 'Super Bowl' — it relies on an idiomatic play on a team name and event rather than regular compositional semantics. A B1 learner who knows the constituent words but has not encountered the expression would not predict this meaning, so it is opaque.
Etymology
Take the Browns to the Super Bowl is a funny saying that creates a clear picture: Browns means brown things, like poo, and the Super Bowl is a very big 'bowl' like a toilet. So, it is a joking way to say 'to defecate'.
