butchers

An adaptation of the cockney Rhyming Slang "Bucthers Hook" (to look) made by locals from the Isle of Wight, England. In this case it's been used to discribe petty persistent criminals or a crook, hence the Butchers bit (butchers hook - crook).Beleived to have started primarily in the West of the Island in the early 1980's. Then went on to pervade the island and some parts of the near mainland. Now it is used to describe any Kind of criminal activity from torching a car to burglary and shoplifting.

Oii nipper did you read about butchers in the paper. Been caught shopliftling again.

he knows which side of his bread is buttered

He knows where the money comes from, who pays him his livelihood or gives him the most personal gain. Used to describe how money concerns often rules people's decisons despite their feelings or personal opinions. No matter what people pander, they will not bite the hand that feeds.

He may gripe about his boss and talk about starting a new career, but he knows which side of his bread is buttered.

Corporate America may not like Trump's sexist statements, but they will still vote for him because after all, they know which side of their bread is buttered.

hot-buttered fart

The distinctive smell of the multiplex cinema showing this season's action pic, favoured by adolescent boys. Hot buttered popcorn and farts defying the best efforts of mechnical ventilation.

The lingering memory of Spiderman was the smell of a combined hot-buttered fart from the three previous sessions.
