Do you find the term "butter bar" offensive or demeaning?

I cannot speak from a point of view of an officer, but all ranks, billets, services, etc. have one or more uniquely identifying tags/names, and I don't think it's a big deal. I think it's endearing, not necessarily disrespectful... I was called worse, and didn't think about it twice, after all, if name calling affects us, what kind of killing machines are we? :D Obviously, being tactful and respectful still stands, I'm not saying be an asshole all the time to everyone, but there is a time and place for everything.

I hate PoG boot fucks.... ;)

Those who find it offensive need to grow up. They are no longer going to get "participation" trophies for just showing up.

For those who may find it insulting, think of it this way. Butter usually sits on a tray made for it in restaurants, they are usually a silver color. After the butter is heated by the room temperature, it melts. After much use and exposure to heat all that is left is the silver tray it came with. After a "butter bar" has had some exposure to environment and trial by fire, it slowly becomes that silver bar that is more respected by the command.

I find the question offensive becasue it is based on ego only.

Sir, you are exceptional, because you don’t allow rank to determine who you are and what you stand for. You are a true OFFICER.

Simply descriptive of a novice officer, yet untested.

Butter bar seems a lot better than rectangular golden dildo...

"He/She is just a Butter Bar" is the same as "He/She is just a Private". You are saying "he/she doesn't know anything". These are statements made by NCOs that are meant to be derogative.

It is called that because of the gold color. OMG worrying about this petty shi7 is how wars are lost.
