how did “butter fingers” become synonymous with being clumsy? was there a whole swath of the population perpetually dipping their hands in butter?

i would like to see this pro-butter handling society and have a few words

@tillybridges people baking - making cakes and bread - I guess there actually _might_ have been a time when having butter covered fingers was quite common?

@tillybridges Maybe clumsy people tended to have trouble with butter knives, and got butter all over their fingers?
