Beste Ron,

tonight I learned another new LS-word (from Hamburg, your home region):

"_buttsche-boben-opp_", written differently '_buttje-baven-upp_'.

Isn't it nice? I'm sure that you're familiar with it, because its Standard
German meaning is obvious: 'kleiner Mann- ganz groß'.
It is used to describe the condition or mood of a person of 'minor
possibilities' when he/she is a little drunk.

Again it shows- a _but(t)je_' is not necessary young or a boy, it describes
someone who (male/female) is "strolling", living outside of a community.

Have a nice day!

Jonny Meibohm
