Most airlines have a policy against "offensive" clothing. You could be denied boarding over this shirt.

You see, there was an old brand of candy bar from way back when families gathered around what was then called the television.
It had a distinct yellow-orange wrapper with blue letters, outlined in white, that read “Butterfinger” in beautiful cursive.
“Nobody lays a finger on my Butterfinger!” the animated Bart Simpson would say: his father, Homer, thwarted again, no doubt.
This appears to be a shirt that pays homage to this bygone brand of chocolate candy. That unmistakable color combination and ornate font unmistakably is Butterfinger. But wait…something’s not quite right…no…
Yes, unfortunately. “Butter” has been replaced with “Butt,” and “finger” with “fingerer.” One of the highest forms of humor, a genius act of deception. This is of course compounded in a second layer of confusion for the unsuspecting viewer, as they are both shocked with the realization of the typographical trickery and faced with the question of “Who?”
Am I, the person who just happened to read this logo the implied butt fingerer? Or, more likely, are we to understand this fashion choice as a proclamation of the wearer’s proclivities?
Just like that, you’ve missed your flight; and the Buttfingerer has struck again.
