The OED lists the original specialist use of 'butty' as a mining or engineering middleman between proprietors and workmen. This term was used within coal mining communities in England and Wales. Wright's Dictionary of English Dialects (early C20) lists it as meaning either a "fellow worker" or an "intimate friend". It was also used in canal transport to describe a barge being towed by a lead barge. Thus the second barge was known as a 'butty'. This could explain why in the south Wales coalfields it was initially used in the pits to mean a miner's young helper. It later evolved to mean any workmate and now it applies to any friend. Perhaps it is a relative of 'buddy'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
