Pronunciation: ree-sahy-buht-l

Sentence: Far too many smokers use the Earth as their ashtray. They believe that they don't have to pick up their lazy butts and deal with their nasty butts. Somehow they will recybuttle themselves. Worse yet they will justify their action claiming that they are helping to employ the poor schlub who cleans up after them.

Etymology: recycle (to undergo reuse or renewal; be subject to or suitable for further use, activity, etc) + butt (an end that is not used or consumed; remnant; cigarette)
