Famous quotes containing the word butt:
“Johnson did not answer ...; but talking for victory and determined to be master of the field, he had recourse to the device which Goldsmith imputed to him in the witty words of one of Cibbers comedies. There is no arguing with Johnson; for when his pistol misses fire, he knocks you down with the butt end of it.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
“When Dad cant get the diaper on straight, we laugh at him as though he were trying to walk around in high-heel shoes. Do we ever assist him by pointing out that all you have to do is lay out the diaper like a baseball diamond, put the kids butt on the pitchers mound, bring home plate up, then fasten the tapes at first and third base?”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
“Listening to a news broadcast is like smoking a cigarette and crushing the butt in the ashtray.”
