And Buddy Came From Butty Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
And Buddy Came From Butty
A twain of mates as were Jeff and Mutt,
Buddy from butty was sliced and cut:
There once were two mine hands,
Close as bum chummy friends,
Blasting mines together butt-to-butt!
_____________________________________________
A pair of mine workers that always worked together in
risky mine assignments— as if butt to butt— were called
‘butty’. The word buddy was derived from this.

Sliced and cut! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Butty worked in a coal mine to dig out coal, but you seem to explore it to look as if for a precious stone. Thank you so much for digging out this 2009 piece buried in a mine of oblivion..
