Pronunciation: buht'n-UHP-man-ship

Sentence: Bob wasn't a nice man; if he didn't get his own way, he would become pushy. Frequently he would be "pushing someones button," and if that didn't work he would "push their keys." Also he thought that he was a tough dude and joined "The Push," but they thought he was nothing more than a "push-fire" and a real "push-over." Even at lifts and traffic lights, he always tried his buttonupmanship, telling little old ladies to "button-up their lip." He had no success with the younger ladies also, when it came to "push-on-up." Seeking a free night's fun at someone else's expense, he thought he might push his luck with the ladies at a "pushing school" or a "buttonhole factory," but when it came to "push and shove," they stomped on his "button and bows" and told him to "push off" or he'd be "pushing clouds" sooner than he thought.

Etymology: BUTTON: n. any small knob or disk pressed to activate an electric circuit, release a spring, or otherwise operate or open a machine, small door, toy, etc. ONEUPMANSHIP n. the attitude or practice of trying to keep one step ahead of a friend or competitor;
