I hope my somewhat frequent use of the word "Mate" doesn't come of as kinda cocky, like?
All my life growing up in the southwest of england, Mate was a friendly term..hangin with your mates ...like your Pal over here.
They could both be used in a kind of angry way , I guess,like..."so thats what you really think of me then is it MATE/PAL! But we used other words at the end for that stuff smile
but my versions are the friendly mild ones...just so every one of my mates here knows smile
