hands that treat every object like a live grenade with a two-second fuse.
means a clumsy person who drops things constantly, as if their fingers were greased and useless for gripping.
from cricket slang from the 1800s for a fielder who fumbled catches, like the ball slid off buttered hands; later became a general insult and, cheekily, a candy bar name.
