I don’t like real butter. Anyway, so don’t butter someone up, buddie. Slime is disgusting.

Me and friends, we always butter each other up. However, we don’t take it seriously we’re always joking. :)

actually I have ever never tried to butter some one up. Because I feel it is silly thing and make people lose there value in front of others, so why we should do that. 

I have never eat cheese with out butter.i love it:)

Personally I don’t think that buttering your boss up can give you benefits or a better position in the company. I think you can choose whether to butter smb up or not. But being creative, helpful, positive, industrious, professional can help you gain recognition with the head (s) of the company you are working for and achieve. Try this way- it’s pleasant and rewarding!

some people (esp bosses) know they are buttered up and they like it. The only way to be their favourite is to butter them up. It’s so annoying and stressful for you but sometimes you have to do it.

I don’t like but honestly ,I do sometimes.I always tried to be a good person and I really feel bad after doing such this things.

heyyy…...i know a new vocabulary…..

I try to used the new words

quite interesting video and new vocabulary…....so, be honest and don’t try to butter someone up))))))

This just remind me, when I was young, for asking my dad a service, I came up with a nice idea just to butter him up, so that he could give a satisfaction to my demand, lol

I buttered someone up, yeah, and that was my mom, and she’s the only person i remembered buttering up. That was when i was young and i wanted her approval to go out somewhere with friends. I was a good girl for like a week, hehe. But then, I dont like doing that kind of thing coz it makes me feel uneasy and unreal.

I only butter up my toasts to add a little moisture to them  :)

   Personally, I don’t adhere to buttering people up  (unless I’m being jovial ;)as I think it can make one look phony ,plus there’s this manipulative undertow to it that I don’t like either. Furthermore, the line between bothering and buttering someone up is very delicate. Heaping someone with too much praises or behaving unnaturally nice around that person will eventually become exasperating at some point. It is important to realize that people don’t fall for these kinds of theatrical kindness very easily as many would like to believe .This is how I see it, very seldom do we tell someone off for a bad breath greeting :), it’s almost the same when we are being buttered up, we have to bite our tongues not to shout “you’re acting strange, what do you want or are hiding from me?” out of fear of hurting that person :), we just let it slide. If you have ever seen the mortified looks when you told people  that you have seen through their disguises,  then you’ll get my analogy: D. The point is, while buttering someone up can lead to a desired outcome it’s not always good advertising for your dignity or reputation. My theory is this, be nice and helpful to others on a regular basis so that you don’t have to put too much of an act when you really need them. There are a lot of people out there waiting to help without  necessarily expecting anything in return, if only you were not afraid to just ASK-  Save yourself some troubles and use your cleverness  and kindness to figure out how you going to pay them back tactfully, instead of trying to trick them into helping you.

   Now, the scenario in this lesson depicts a slightly different type of “butter up” ;), we all aim to please our bosses, we fetch them lunch, compliment them because we love them so much or it could be that we might just be buttering them up so that we could safeguard our jobs in these tough times, but most of us do so because we love them, right? Oh please! :D  .I can understand Lily’s behavior a little bit. Sometimes, it’s hard for a manager to single out an employee as “outstanding” when everybody else is apparently doing a decent job, therefore it’s difficult to get a promotion or in the case of  Lily, earn full-time employment status. I’m sure Lily is not just acting nice and hardworking, but exclaiming that she had done Jeff’s work is ethically incorrect, that could have had him and her fired, some managers don’t applaud such heroic acts. Or worse, that could have earned her more workload (and more free times for Jeff should he has decided to take advantage of her kindness ;) which I doubt is what she really wants. If I were her I would have used a different approach .I would have asked Amanda for a meeting to discuss my eligibility for a full-time position in private. If she could not afford another fulltime employee at that time, then I would know and that would have saved me a lot of trips to the bagel kiosk. ;)

i have a frnd that can easily be buttered up:)she is so proud and the only way to convince her to do sth is  complimenting her!and the sentence that can easily make her to do sth is :this is so hard to do!!!and after that you will see she is trying very hard to show that work is easy for her and she can do it!:))))

It’s become more common in our world to butter some one up whom we need to do sth for us . In my idea it is not a good manner , it is a sort of misbehaving . Nevertheless , we have to be polite and always appreciate what our friends have done for us and thank them but not for asking a favor . i hate this manner and never try to butter some one up , if s/he is really an admirable person i will say directly if it is necessary :)

It is such a nice expression, I liked it a lot !

In our Moroccan slang, we say “Painting someone”.

it’s kind of using someone for the benifit of themselves. i hate people who act suddley like that for their advantage. i know poeple who don’t even say Hello to you but when it comes to their advantage they statrt to compliment you. i didn’t butter someone up for my benefit and i don’t think that i will.

We see this happening around everyday, it’s really disgusting, lazy employees butter their bosses up, greedy people butter up rich people or people in higher positions, ... Etc
Complementing is required within nice and polite limits and should never be one for a reason otherwise it will show.
Best thing to get someone to do something is to motivate him/her and show the value of doing such a thing. People usually do things that they love mostly and of course beside things that they feel that they have to do it otherwise they will get punished :)

I have seldom tried to butter someone up. When I face a problem, first I’ll try to solve it by myself. If I can’t make it, I’ll ask someone to do me a favor. If he or she would help me, I’ll be very appreciated. If not, I still won’t butter them up. Normally I can get favor from other people.

I think buttering someone up is not good. It will make others feel odd and uncomfortable. If you keep good relationship with your colleagues and help them when they in need, it will be easy for you to get help for them. Besides making more good friends is also important. There is a old Chinese saying—- at home one relies on one’s parents and outside on one’s friends. So friends can always help you.
