bist?

And, I may have been exaggerating.

Second-person singular form of "be". Not the correct tense here, I think.

It most certainly is correct here! As in "ow bist old butt".

Third-person as well?

"Ow bist old butt" is a question and a greeting rolled into one.

What does it mean?

"How are you, friend?"

It's a Forest of Dean expression. Sometimes it's "me old butt" or "old butty" rather than just "old butt".
