And Buddy Came From Butty
A Aniruddha Pathak

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.
