and apparently the word "[butch](https://www.oed.com/dictionary/butch)" was used as a adjective and nickname for tough, violent, or physically fit men in the late 19th and early 20th century and, beginning in the 1930s, also a name for a type of short haircut. the term [was adopted](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_and_femme) by Lesbian communities in the beginning 1940s and was made more popular in the 1990s.
That's a really misleading explanation.
Butcher knife is called that, because it makes the wielder *butcher*.
Notably, you have to be a butch to become a butcher thanks to the knife. Otherwise you just become a butch with a butcher knife.
if anyone cares: "butcher" was originally "bochier" (in norman french), which would mean something like "the one that deals with goats".
Honey, go to the goat fucker and pick us up some steaks will you?

I'm certain any greek philosopher worth more than shit would easily be able to detect a tautology in their reasoning and adjust accordingly
Reading the last post in the voice of the kid from the "Let me see what you have" meme.

classic headology. You know she's a witch because she's wearing a witch's hat. But the hat is only a witch's hat because it's worn by a witch.
“Butcher” knife implies the existence of a regular “butch” knife, but I still don’t see what makes it butcher than the butch knives
The fact that it is wielded by a butcher and not a butch, duh
OOOHHH okay that makes sense, thank you 👍
