Answer 1

Answer 2

Leave that Jam and Butter, are you going to give points for this question...?

Answer 3

Points, its all about the points, nothing else matters in the YA world, we really don't care about the sick, politics, what music is the best or if your dress makes you look fat.  We just want the points.

By the way can we spend these points on a vacation later?

Answer 4

Because butter is yummy. Don't we like yummy things?

Answer 5

i guess

Answer 6

I like butter on my Cinnamon toast does that count?  I really think most people are answering with their personal beliefs,  I dont think they are answering with hopes of getting 10 points as much as have a passion for their particular stance on an issue.    

Answer 7

At least as far as this question is concerned I have come across no instance of buttering except in one case which,in my view,is more flirtatious,than to get his

answer chosen as the best.

Incidentally,I have never seen someone giving the same answer to two different questions.Are you sure you are not making it up,because it seems so strange?

Answer 8

I'm not familiar with the term buttering in regards to Y/A, what does that mean?

I'm not being rude.

Answer 9

Buttering means to make something appear better than it is. Like exaggerate.

Answer 10

"Buttering", or "butter up" alludes to praising or flattering excessively.  

Please be specific about answerers you believe have "buttered up".

Answer 11

I think for fun sake to please to opposite s*x they start buttering with the hope asker will award  10 points for his/her foolish reply.I think such peoples are not serious.

Answer 12

Three possibilities..

1) For 10 points : but then the answerer is fool because asker will give 10 points to sensible answerer and not to butter-answerer.

2) To please girls : In some case, some desparate guys answers to impress a girl asker. They try to show themsalves intelligent.

3) To satisfy self ego: Some people feel good when they pretent to know everything. To get this kind of satisfaction, they answer.

Answer 13

Well how can I say about others?

I can say about myself:

If my answer looks artificial, its because:

1. I want to earn 10 points

or,

2. Its an informative answer, so it appears formal.

Answer 14

Sometimes its true people do talk very idealisticly, which ofcourse in real life they may not follow...but Y/A is a forum where people share there views and ideas which we may or maynot like, still we can get much insight about a person and his views about certain issue or senario. We all have our experiences both good and bad...its no harm in sharing them through Y/A ;)
