I can't wait to hear what Jane (butter wouldn't melt in her mouth) B has to say about this or will she choose to ignore it. :1orglaugh
If you still don't understand what this saying means please find someone who can explain it to you. It's very important. :2 cents:
You seem to care a lot about what I think. I am not sure if that is good or bad.
I also suggest you get a life and not try to pick a fight with me. I am the wrong person to bother because I will tell you straight up to get bent. :2 cents:
Meaning of "butter wouldn't melt in her mouth" for those who do not know.
Prim and proper, with a cool demeanor
Origin
The allusion in this expression is to people who maintain such a cool demeanor that they don't even have the warmth to melt butter. This is an old phrase.
The phrase is usually used in a derogatory and critical sense and, in the past at least, was most often applied to women. Occasionally, it was used to denote a quiet meekness and sweetness of temper rather than emotional coldness
