but

The new over-used but not yet killed use of the original meaning of "but". Used to start short statements with the intention of emphasizing ones point on a particular topic.
Usually said very quickly so it sounds like a mumble, and is recipricated by another sentence beginning with "but", this goes on back and forth for quite a while un till someone decides to say "i know".

"But i am"
"But he is"
"But its not"
"But i cant"
"But they do"
"But i will"
"But we must"
"But i know"
"But you did"
etc....

Sam: "No, but he is"
Sarah: "But he is"
Sam: "I know"

but

Bullshit Useless Thing. Almost everything advertised on The Shopping Channel. Other things that might fall into the BUT category are anti-aging products (you can't stop the aging process), 6 Second Abs, and social networking sites like Twitter. Taken from the Anti-Flag song "One Trillion Dollars".

Example 1: BUT = Bullshit Useless Thing

Example 2:

"One trillion dollars, what a bullshit useless thing

Woah-oh-oh woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh

Fuck the world, a lot of people gotta die tonight"
