Does the term "stick of butter" have some deeper meaning?

    I'm european, so I'm not used to that expression. After some basic research, it seems butter is sold in sticks rather than cubes in the US. But in a comic I read (lost URL for the specific comic strip, but it was www.userfriendly.org The point of alle this is that one of the techie geeks asked someone for tips when he was about to go on a date. Later, the woman tells her friend he was doing great untill the stick of butter, and the reader gets to know the other guy gave him bad advice to ruin the date. Does a stick of butter have a deeper perverse meaning I'm not familiar with? Is there anyone who can explain this?

    Not that I'm aware of. I'd say that was in the comic because people can probably imagine funnier and more perverse things to do with a slippery phallic-shaped object like a stick of butter than the comic-writer could come up with :)

    Indeed. Maybe we could make one. A meaning, that is, not a stick of butter.

    Meaning? Something like: To slide down towards "a deeper perverse meaning I'm not familiar with?" Or maybe: To embarc upon the evertrancending "slippery phallic-shaped object like a stick of butter than the comic-writer could come up with :) "
