DTB

This is slang from London and stands for Ditch the Bitch. This is usually advice given by a friend to someone whose girlfriend has become a trouble. Typically this is due to her having become sure of him as a possession and has become a demanding, self-absorbed, self-centred cunt with a severe case of princess syndrome.

“Mike’s having real problems with Kim and asked me for help.”
“What did you tell him?”
“You know what a pain in the arse she is just one answer DTB!”

Butter Wouldn’t Melt

The original expression was “Butter wouldn’t melt in his/her mouth”. What this means is when you find someone, a child or animal who is quite obviously responsible for some misdemeanour and they deny it and look at you with an expression of angelic innocence and, in spite of all the evidence continue to lie, that’s when you say that Butter Wouldn’t Melt.

“It wasn’t me that broke the jug, it was the dog.”
“We haven’t got a dog.”
“It came in from outside, it wasn’t me.”
“Oh yeah, and I suppose butter wouldn’t melt!”

Humpin'

Slang, possibly from the end of World War II, but it was certainly used by the US Army during the Vietnam War. It means a heavy or awkward load in adverse or difficult circumstances.

When they first heard it, the expression “humpin’ the pig” the word humpin' caused a certain amount of consternation among reporters (see humping). The pig in question was not a pink bacon producer or an officer of the law but nickname for the M60 machine gun, so the grunt they were interviewing would have been a machine gunner.
