I have heard this used a couple times on this forum and was just wondering, Isn't the saying "Nip in the butt?" Thats what I always thought it was!
Can anybody clarify? Whats a bud? and why is it being nipped?

I think it's talking about flowers - if you nip it in the bud, it doesn't grow to full size.

the idea is that you stop it while it's still a bud, before it grows into a fully opened flower

She probably means "I also don't know what I would do without Imamother"?
