“Butter-and-egg man” = người toàn bơ với trứng -> nghĩa là người giàu có, thanh cao và sống rất tự do/thoải mái ở thành phố lớn. Cụm từ này có thể bắt nguồn từ những năm 1920 khi những triệu phú mới thích khoe về sự giàu sang của mình (thường họ đến từ vùng nông thôn).
Ví dụ
“Champ, champ. Tell me about your Fiery Francophile. The Parisian Torpedo, Tony Parker,” Popovich was implored by 1920s-style prank reporter Scoops Callahan. “Can he continue to be your main butter and egg man and still crunk the boys from big D?”
Pappas and his brother John, the Vice Chairman of Chefs’ Warehouse, run the company, inspired by their father Peter Pappas who was a “butter and egg man” years ago, selling from his truck, the brothers said in a video on the company’s website. Peter Pappas and his cousin, Greek Cypriot immigrants (người nhập cư) and Korean War veterans founded the Veterans’ Butter and Egg Company in 1956, providing butter, eggs and cheeses to many New York City restaurants.
To get you started, type “NBC GOW” into YouTube’s search box to unlock a few decades’ worth of Game of the Week broadcasts, distant Saturday afternoons encased in digital amber (hổ phách kỹ thuật số). “…and that’s in there,” says Vin Scully of a Jack Morris fastball to Carlton Fisk. It’s April of 1984, early in the Tigers’ incredible run at the beginning of their championship season. Morris is just beginning to no-hit Tony La Russa’s White Sox. Big Greg Luzinski (“Here comes a butter and egg man,” says Vin) puts his weight behind a Morris offering and knocks it toward center, only to have the Chicago breeze nudge it down where it settles into Chet Lemon’s glove.
