lay the butter on

lay the butter on
грубо льстить; усиленно расхваливать

And Iachimo has nothing to do but praise Posthumus, and lay the butter on thick, and she is instantly as pleased as Punch, and void of all resentment. (B. Shaw. ‘Ellen Terry and Bernard Shaw. A Correspondence’, Letter to E. Terry, Sept. 8, 1896) — И Иахиму не остается ничего другого, как расхваливать Постхумуса, грубо льстить ему, а Имогена рада-радешенька и уже не чувствует обиды.
