The phrase "shuffle like butter" gets used a lot round here to describe the smooth sensation of shuffling broken in chips.
Im a visual person so my brain tries to visualise it and I keep getting an error. I keep visualising someone who literally has butter on their fingers shuffling chips and now they are all oily. Gross. The other visual I get is someone trying to shuffle those round discs of butter you get and thats no better.
So what am I missing here? Why do we all keep using this phrase? Is there something better to describe that sensation? Something a little less moist? Silky smooth perhaps?
Looking forward to hearing some different viewpoints on this. Would be great to find out the genesis of the description. Does anyone know the original butter lover?
