Watered-down word for butt. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=patoot "Patoot - butt" the consonants 'P' and 'B' are equivalent because they are labials. In Telugu language of India, "Muddi" means butt. "M" and "B" are equivalent because they are labials.

As Galeanda says, it comes from patootie: patootie "sweetheart, pretty girl," colloquial Amer.Eng., 1921, perhaps a corruption of potato (esp. sweet potato). http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=patootie
