"Buttoney" "Buttoney" is a favourte game at wakes. One person has a button and a strap, and he passes round the button; and leaves it with one player and then he says to one of the others "Buttoney" "Buttoney" who has the button and if that person guesses wrong he gets a number of slaps with the strap and so on until the right person has guessed.- Collector
