A sign of the times, my babysitter gave ten year-old me an O.J. Simpson slammer. Even then, I didn't see the purpose of Pogs, yet I proudly stashed them, building a collection I lost interest in around the same time I got rid of my mushroom cut.
In seventh grade at my Chelsea middle school across from a gay bar called Rawhide, my Puerto Rican friend with a mushroom cut proclaimed his lunch time pizza was "Butta."
Urban Dictionaryhas a few definitions. In the Lower East Side of the mid '90s, it mostly meant:
"having a particularly illmatic quality; sweet; nice 'If lookin' good is like being on time, man, THAT girl is fifteen minutes early.' 'Yeah, she's butter.'"
This is also butter.
If brought back I propose we pronounce it "Butta" with a slight 'D' sound on the T's.
