| Literature | 1: "The titter [tingle] of an electric bell brought a large fat buttons, with a stage effect of being dressed to look small."- Howell: Hazard of New Fortunes, (vol. i. part i. chap. vii. p. 58). 2: He has not all his buttons. He is half-silly; "not all there"; he is "a button short." 3: Dash my buttons. Here, "buttons" means lot or destiny, and "dash" is a euphemistic form of a more offensive word. 4: The buttons come off the foils. Figuratively, the courtesies of controversy are neglected. 5: "Familiarity with controversy ... will have accustomed him to the misadventures which arise when, as sometimes will happen in the heat of fence, the buttons come off the foils."- Nineteenth Century (June, 1891, p. 925). 6: Buttons The two buttons on the back of a coat, in the fall of the back, are a survival of the buttons on the back of riding-coats and military frocks of the eighteenth century, occasionally used to button back the coat-tails. 7: 'Tis not in his buttons.

This is explained by George Colman in Sylvester Daggerwood: "My father was an eminent button-maker ... but I had a soul above buttons ... and panted for a liberal profession." 10: To put into buttons. To dress a boy as a "page," with a jacket full in the front with little buttons, generally metallic and very conspicuous. 11: `Tis in his buttons.

(See Bachelor.) 12: To take by the button. To detain one in conversation; to apprehend, as, "to take fortune by the button."
