butterfunk

1. The smell of microwave popcorn (especially in an enclosed space) when YOU'RE not the one eating it.

2. The uniform smell of a theater snack bar employee after a shift.
The waves of butterfunk are making me nauseous. The only antidote is to go pop my own bag.

Buttering the Cat

In the disability rights community: attempting to help someone without asking if they need help, or in a way that is not actually helpful (and indeed may be harmful to the disabled person or to others).

Comes from a viral Twitter thread featuring Jorts the orange cat who was having trouble grooming himself. A well meaning but clueless human buttered Jorts in an attempt to teach him how to groom himself. This may or may not have resulted in a different cat being sick from licking the butter off of Jorts.
"Hey, don't just grab my chair; that's buttering the cat!"

"Stop buttering the cat, tonight's homework is easy!"
