I heard once that it comes from an ancient custom in India of throwing balls of butter at the feet of statues of gods to get good favor.
I wasn’t there so I’m not sure, but I suspect that if you actually slathered someone with butter , you’d definitely make an impression. Maybe not the one you want though.
