That's the diminutive form of "Buttinsky".

Your tag line sounds both as if it was meant as a compliment and as if it was taken that way.
I have no idea how Gundog meant it but it cracked me up and I’ve claimed it.
It was said in passing on some funny thread and tickled me no end.
:D
WTF is a bidon? Sorry, I’ve been around for quite a few decades and never heard of that.
A “bidon” is a Mafia boss that goes both ways.
A bidon is Russian for milk jug, apparently.
When I first heard it, it is what the Russians were calling Biden, to imply that he was an empty container that had to be filled with positions of the day.
It is being used as a pun to insult Biden. Strangely, I’m ok with the Russians insulting Biden.
Your joke has been churning in the back of my mind. Change the location to “a blood bank.”
Usually gas or water.
Along the same lines, Poutine is a French Canadian dish that has three key ingredients==french fries, gravy, and cheese curds (cheese is a poor substitute). However, it is delicious. The empty suit aspect of bidon is rich.
Good clean joke from a children’s riddle book:
What’s the only day in the whole calendar that is a command?
March FORTH!!
(or fourth)
Buttinski is also a common name for a lineman’s telephone handset.
There’s a passage in HST’s Hell’s Angels that I’ve dragged around since high school:
In the Carolinas they say "hill people" are different from "flatlands people," and as a native Kentuckian with more mountain than flatlands blood, I'm inclined to agree. This was one of the theories I'd been nursing all the way from San Francisco. Unlike Porterville or Hollister, Bass Lake was a mountain community ... and if the old Appalachian pattern held, the people would be much slower to anger or panic, but absolutely without reason or mercy once the fat was in the fire. Like the Angels, they would tend to fall back in an emergency on their own native sense of justice -- which bears only a primitive resemblance to anything written in law books. I thought the mountain types would be far more tolerant of the Angels' noisy showboating, but -- compared to their flatlands cousins -- much quicker to retaliate in kind at the first evidence of physical insult or abuse.I don’t know if you’ everr dealt with any of the Tioga Mountain Men of not, but there’s a primitive pragmatism that runs through them. By snowflake standards, I’m sure that they seem barbaric.
