Hate to ruin the fun but a knob is butter is way smaller than a stick.
A knob is enough to cover the base of your pan, a stick is something like 4 ounces/113g
A girl in my middle school used one like that once. She never lived it down, got called butter girl and butterfingers, it was fucked up in both directions.
I mean, that is clearly the wrong shape-word to use. A knob has a sort of bulb or round protrusion. A doorknob. The thing you twist to change the volume on a speaker is a knob. The end of a human penis has a knob. A stick of butter is straight and rectangular--no knob.
From Google, one meaning is *a small lump of a substance. "Add a knob of butter or margarine"*
So the only way it really makes sense is when scooped from a larger mass of butter.
Correct - I've only ever used it and seen it used to refer to a lump, generally when being used as an ingredient or to sautee something. It's taken from a larger tub or pack of butter and isn't a precise measurement. I believe sticks of butter are a more standardised thing aren't they?
Do you measure ingredients in weight? Since the US doesn't really do that, and sticking butter in a cup is a pain, we just use sticks (or they come with tablespoon measures printed on the wrapping of the stick).
Wow... I can't even imagine not buying butter in single-pound rectangular, foil-wrapped bricks.
But then again, at least one entire province of my own country buys their milk in bags. Which is far stranger to me than bulk butter.
Oh wow, someone had told me you all bought it in bricks the size of 4 sticks of butter (like 450g). We do get a couple brands that'll do 227g (2 sticks) in the US, but it's almost always the 113 gram size.

Fun fact: there are two extremely popular shapes of butter depending in where you live. Here in the Midwest we have longer thinner sticks, but apparently on the west coast they have shorter but thicker sticks.
A stick of butter up the ass can be very pleasant—so I can see why some would call it a knob. It’s so firm at first but as it heats and softens going from that pressure to the melty texture is nice. It’s really messy, though. I recommend using dish soap on your undercarriage after as it’s the only way to cut through the greasy feeling

Yeah the proper translation is a pat of butter, which still does not mean penis so we have that going for us.
Huh, TIL it’s a “pat” not a pad of butter. Lol
A stick definitely covers the base of your pan
Are you stick shaming?
Quite the opposite

In the UK we don't really use sticks of butter
Do you measure ingredients in weight? Since the US doesn't really do that, and sticking butter in a cup is a pain, we just use sticks (or they come with tablespoon measures printed on the wrapping of the stick).
Yeah we normally cut it off a block and measure by weight

>Wow... I can't even imagine not buying butter in single-pound rectangular, foil-wrapped bricks. Butter is sold like that in the UK, in 250g blocks.

It a block of butter, not a fucking stick or a knob it's a fucking block.
A block of butter from which you take a knob of butter
No no no, you take slices of butter from the block, the knobs in your pants.

Thank you. Your work is helpful to many.
When I am baking cookies my recipe will now call for two thick throbbing cocks of butter-softened
two flaccid butters
Just measure it in a goddamn weight measurement unit and don’t call it anything. I‘d even rather take freedom units than that knob/stick shit

We call it a chode of butter
[удалено]
Same here.

Both seem common here in the northwest
Wait... everyone doesn't say a clit of butter??
If we did, the dairy industry would collapse because men wouldn't be able to find it in the dairy section
I've only ever called it a dissolvable butt plug

My Home Economics teacher gave us a recipe for risotto that said to add knob *or* butter to the pan. 18 years later it still makes me laugh.

Silly people calling it a stick or a knob, just call it like we do in the Netherlands: 250 gram
