"butty
It gave me Putty, before the meltdown... 
I'm wondering if it is used colloquially like, I believe, butty can also mean "mate" oop north...?!"
Yep. 'butty' is friend or workmate and the 'w' sounds as a 'uh' |

It's a term of affection like "lad" or mate. I'm a Welsh speaker so I don't have to google it.It originated from the coal-mines where a young boy would be left in charge of the miner's sandwiches.He therefore became his "butty boy".Over time this became "butty" then "butt" |

"I think there are two versions of the Welsh lingo, only slight changes. One for North and one for South Wales."
There's also one in Ceredigion too which is slightly different to Gog [North] and Hwntw [South] Welsh |
