To say that someone is “toast” is to mean that someone is finished. That person is not literally toast, but there are jokes.
“Last night, a guy tried to stab me with a butter knife. He said I was toast” was posted on Reddit—Jokes on March 21, 2015, and on Reddit—3amjokes on July 9, 2020.
“I recently bought a bread knife. It’s not as good as stainless steel” and “I’ve just used a proper butter knife for the first time. It melted in my hand” are related jokes.
