LoL
Listening to the BBC and I just heard a UK political pundit describe Tony Blair with this phrase to indicate how Blair always seemed to weather political crisis with a smile or as Americans would say "Come up smelling like Roses"
I love British slang.
Of course I'm not really clear on how sitting in butter is a good thing. :shrug:

I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's more than one website dedicated to pictures of this very act.

I drive people mad with ..."and Bob's your uncle." They tell me it doesn't make sense, well, neither does Happy as a clam.
So there.

Ca baigne dans l'huile - "Everything's bathing in oil". When everything's going smoothly and according to plan. :D
