Being butty pilled means you've been fully converted to the gospel of simple, working-class British food — specifically the sandwich in its most no-frills, gloriously functional form. You've rejected artisan ingredients, subscription meal kits, and fifteen-minute lunch recipes in favor of bread, butter, a filling, and absolutely nothing else. The '-pilled' suffix signals ideological commitment: you're not just eating a butty, you're making a statement about what food should be. Often used ironically by people who are genuinely a little smug about their low-maintenance lunch philosophy.
