One who likes to push buttons. That is, a person who enjoys getting people irritated and starting fights and arguments; a colloquial term for an instigator.
Not to be confused with button masher.

Sarah: Ooh, that Steve is such a dick! He keeps making fun of my weight even though he knows I'm sensitive about it. Kate, do you think I'm fat??
Kate: No, no. Don't worry about Steve, he's just a button pusher.

Get the Button pushermug. 1. To come forward; to admit one's own wrongdoings
2. To face reality; to give up on delusions or hopeless dreams

1. Come out and face the music, Jim. I know you've been stealing my pizza from the fridge.
2. I wish I could be a billionaire, too, but we've all got to face the music, sometimes.

Get the Political puppetmug. World of Warcraft Paladin ability. Colloquially referred to as "bubbling", due to the bubble-like appearance of the shield.
Instantly conjures a magical barrier around the caster which makes them basically invincible, unless you're a Priest with Mass Dispel. Even the Warlock's Chaos Bolt, which is supposed to punch through just about anything, is rendered useless against this technique. Lasts twelve seconds.
Infamous for its use as a last-resort maneuver. That is, when a Paladin is getting his sorry ass handed to him, he'll bubble up, utilizing his invulnerable state to either heal or run (often through the aid of a Hearthstone, called "bubble-hearthing").
When a Paladin bubbles and tries to heal, you mind as well bandage yourself, keep your distance, and evade if he comes for you, since there's nothing you can do to him.
Good news is, the cooldown is pretty long, so they'll only be able to use it once during your combat if they've got it ready. Plus, healing drains mana, which a paladin needs to execute any of his powerful attacks. So the longer you can survive, the better off you'll be.
Most non-Paladins frown upon bubbling, especially the ones that don't know what to do when it happens.

Get the Divine Shieldmug. A not-high-yet-not-too-low end brand of beer. Miller Lite, especially, is popular amongst calorie counters, as it contains less calories than some other "lite" brands.

Get the Miller™mug. 1. A type of figure skating jump, including a leap with 1.5 turns.
2. One component of the "wheel and axel" simple machine. The wheel has a larger circumfrence than the axel, and so it would take more power to turn the axel, but in doing so the wheel would turn more times. Most wheels and axels on cars function this way.
3. A character in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. He is the eighth member of Organization XIII, nicknamed "The Flurry of Dancing Flames". Axel, like other members of the group, wears a black overcoat with black gloves and black boots. He has bright red, spiky hair and wields two chakram with eight spikes on each. He can throw these chakram or use them as melee weapons--they will always return to his hand when they're thrown. He can also charge them with fire and execute many fire-based attacks. He has broken off from the rest of the Organization in KH II, but he still shares a relationship with Roxas

1. Bob: "Axel Paulsen was the first guy to ever perform an axel jump. Go figure!"
Bill: "Wow."
2. John: "Dude, the axel on my car broke. I have to get it towed to the shop!"
Mofo: "That bites, man. That bites big."
3. Axel: "The name's Axel. Got it memorized?!"
"I'm so FLATTERED!"
"BURN, BABY!"
"My heart just wouldn't be in it, y'know? Haven't got one..."
