A 2nd Lieutenant in US Armed Forces, specifically the Marine Corps. "Butterbar", a reference to the gold bar rank insignia worn on the uniform, is a term generally used in a condescending or patronizing manner towards a boot lieutanant that thinks he knows everything, yet couldn't lead the way out of his own ass with a map and flashlight.
After completing OCS (Officer Candidate School) and TBS (The Basic School) a large number of newly minted butter bars tend to think that they are Chesty Puller and General Patton reincarnated and have the belief that after months of schooling they know much more than enlisted Marines that have been doing the job much longer.
Some have been so stupid as to actually stop a Gunner (THE Man in the USMC) or a Sergeant Major and demand a salute. Several pounds of flesh and ego are stripped before the Lt. knows what is happening and before you know it he's standing locked at point of attention like a fatbody at chowtime.
After several years of seasoning, and realizing that PT studliness doesn't make them a great leader, the butter bar becomes a 1st. Lt. and usually has a clue by then.

Phrases often heard from a Butterbar:
"In my experience..."
"It would behoove you..." (an attempt to sound salty or like a senior enlisted)
"We need to execute gents. We need to execute or we'll be in a $hit sandwich" (repeats every chances he gets, simply because he likes the way it sounds.)

Get the Buttered the bread mug.A Butterflake is a person who believes in the past when there was security in jobs that often included a paid retirement.
They understand that historically change has happened in the work place but they cannot accept that current events would effect them and they have no fallback plan. They are unable to adapt to the current, volatile business environment. The concept of starting over is terrifying to a Butterflake and they do not evolve or think about diversifying themselves in any way.
Most of them are leveraged to the hilt. When they loose their job they cry about it and blame technology, the current president, China, immigrants, etc.
As the name Butterflake suggests, they are fragile. They typically are scared, weak and unprepared for a future they cannot adapt to. Butterflakes try to prove themselves by being extremely outspoken when expressing their point of view.
Butterflakes Politically: They lean right wishing to return society to a time they consider great. A time of good ol boys, cheap fuel, and racial segregation.
Butterflake Identifiers: They are easily duped into conspiracy theory. They often horde guns and stockpiles of ammo. They put exhaust systems on their vehicles that make them louder. The concept of exercise and health isn’t something they concern themselves with.

Automation has completely changed our work place... Couldn't he see the layoffs coming? He really needs to suck it up, stop crying and dig in. This new world is a rough and tumble place. Adapt or die! What a butterflake!
