Butless

Pronunciation:
\ˈbət-less\

Function:
noun

Meaning:
a female who performs the duties traditionally held by a butler according to Andrew when I inquired of him who the HECK an otherwise nameless female character was in the movie he was watching

Used in a sentence:
"Oh, she is like their butless."

As soon as the word was off his tongue he realized his faux pas, though it seemed like a perfectly logical error (and explanation) to me. I knew what he meant straightaway and neither of us could stop laughing.

That's my boy!

Sometimes I feel like a butless in my own home.
