dial someone by mistake with your cell phone; Usually caused by accidentally bumping "dial" with your butt while your phone is in your back pocket.
I didn't mean to butt like that stupid picture my friend posted on Instagram. Now everyone thinks I like pictures of
kittens. How embarrassing.
I think I just butt liked someone's
status update when I was trying to
scroll on my iPhone. I haven't spoken to that person in years. How awkward.
