Boy gives girl a kiss on the cheek. They approach a lamp post. For a moment, it looks as if they will pass it on opposite sides, but boy grabs girl's hand and pulls her around to his side of the post, to avoid getting 'bad luck.'
Boy says, "Bread and butter!"
What does 'bread and butter' mean in this situation?
Best Answer
This is a superstitious expression:
Bread and Butter (superstition)
Apparently, since B forced G onto his side of the obstacle, and the couple were not split, the phrase was not necessary.
