butters

Meanings

Noun

• Plural of butter

Verb

• Third-person singular simple present indicative form of butter

Adjective

• Unattractive, ugly or repulsive.

Origin

• The expression “butters” is thought to be an abbreviation coming from the wording of “she's attractive, but her face”, referring to when a man appreciates a women’s body but does not like her face.
• Possibly originating in the school playground, or could be linked to wolf-whistling.
• Currently, it seems to have evolved into meaning a woman is generally ugly (with no appreciation for the female's face or body).
