Subject: butter(s)



A local high-schooler passed on, via her mother, that 'butter' has begun

to replace 'phat' as a term of praise, which reminded me of a term I never

did understand: 'school butter'. I heard this one from my mother-in-law,

who was originally from East Tennessee (Johnson City), who said this was

what the Big Kids used to call after the new pupils as they walked into

the school. I understand it must be negative in force; does anybody

know what it means?
