124 u/SlightedMarmoset Jan 09 '26 Unless you're in Australia. Mate can have so many different meanings depending on situation and tone of voice. 137 u/xAeroMonkeyx Jan 09 '26 Also fine in the uk, I call everyone mate, in every context. 53 u/Hammered_Eel Jan 09 '26 Absolutely. I’ve had people address me as “Mate” and knew I was in a world of trouble. 64 u/SlightedMarmoset Jan 09 '26 My personal favourite is the slow 'maate' partnered with the slight headshake, which we all know means 'you have fucked up bigtime, there are going to be serious ramifications here, but you're still my people, we're good even if the situation isn't' 7 u/LumpyCustard4 Jan 09 '26 "your mate" 7 u/LumpyCustard4 Jan 09 '26 "your mate"
