smöra

Swedish

smör (“butter”) +‎ -a

smöra (present smörar, preterite smörade, supine smörat, imperative smöra)

(colloquial) to flatter; to suck up
Han smörade för chefen
He sucked up to his boss
to butter (a baking sheet or the like)

The target of the sucking up follows the preposition för.
Idiomatically, breda (or more commonly the apocopic form bre) is used rather than smöra for buttering a sandwich. In an expanded sense, "att bre en macka/smörgås" also means to make a (buttered) sandwich, including adding any toppings or fillings.
