Why are butterflies called butterflies?

Do they have milk that we can churn into butter? If so, could we breed them and keep them in butterfly dairies? How would we milk them? Would they need udders?

Have you ever mispronounced a word with funny results?

When I was of middle school age I loved horror novels. I mispronounced as whore-rah. An aunt seemed a bit put off by this.
