Careful now. You’ve already been forced into an apology today, elsewhere mate.

It’s seemingly benign, chummy without being intrusive and creates a quick connection. But I find it cheap, disrespectful and lazy.

Bud is too Americanised, pal suggests you about to punch the other person in the face, friend is patronising, geeze is rather blokish but anyone calling me ‘mate’ is asking for a punch on the hooter and strong words. Stop it.

Women use it as well.

By “women”, you mean “lesbians” right?
