In Wales, pal or mate. A term of endearment. Like buddy in the US, but I wouldn't presume to state a connection.
mmmmm... bacon...
I thought they were bacon sarnies, and still prefer the name, nyt notwithstanding.

"Researchers at Leeds University spent more than 1,000 hours testing 700 variants on the traditional bacon sandwich, which many Britons refer to as a bacon butty (eschewing the term sandwich, said to have been coined to honor the fourth Earl of Sandwich’s habit of eating meat between slices of bread around 1762)."
