Butter and love

File under "words that need to enter my actively-used vocabulary, and fast": Butyraceous. Here's all you need to know:

BUTYRACEOUS. bu·tyr·a·ceous - adjective

Pronounce it: byoo-tuh-rey-shuhs

Use it in a sentence (with thanks to a clever comment here): Upon tasting the creamy topping on his toast, Fabio exclaimed, "I can't believe it's not butyraceous."
