butterfly

A song from a Dance Dance Revolution game. Loved by weeaboo girls all over, though it's a catchy song with a good beat and is made by two Swedish girls.

Ai yai yai, I'm your little butterfly
Green black and blue make the colours in the sky

Ai yai yai where's my samurai?

Butterfly Snap

Butterfly Snap is used as a kind of victory word. Kind of like when some one goes "daaamn" after a yo mama joke.

"yo mama so fat ________" and then you go "Butterfly SNAP!!!!!"

or

When in a competitive game, when about to attack the enemy (Halo3, Gears of War, COD 4 & 5) when your about to finish them off do the "Butterfly SNAP!!"

Butterfly

A death defying swimming stroke performed by those extraordinarily strong or insanely stupid. Caution: If you are not like Michael Phelps or any other Olympic swimmer please do not attempt. Many people have died or gotten injured by doing this swimming stroke, and trust me when I say that steroids will not help.

*In a sad funeral
Jimmy: "How did he die?"
Thomas: "He tried to impress a girl by swimming butterfly"
Jimmy: "What a stupid guy"
