  What it means

  Literally “buttery butter.” A tautology — saying the same thing twice in different words without adding any new information. Also used when something is so obvious it barely needs saying.

  Vocabulary

  • masło — butter
  • maślany — buttery / made of butter

  Grammar note

  'Maślane' is the neuter adjective form of 'maślany' agreeing with 'masło'. A classic example of a tautological construction.
