O que significa 'Hopefully' doth butter no parsnips. ?
- Inglês (RU)

@Lingo99 "Fine words butter no parsnips" is an English proverb.
It means however good (fine) the words are, they are nothing without action. A more modern version of this proverb is "Actions speak louder than words".
"doth" is an old way to say "does", but we don't usually use it in this proverb.

It means "'Hopefully' isn't good enough."
This is a witty remark that stems from "Fine words butter no parsnips", which means "Nothing is ever achieved by flattery." It is an old English phrase and is nowadays only heard in performances or things of the sort.
