The over-use of the word mate is annoyng... infact when i was a kid i didnt used to like the word mate... but kinda got embedded in me from everybody saying it... now i'll mate your granny. nah i would call a granny mate. infact older people i give a nice hello and wave my hanky about

But at the end of the day maxalfie, what the fuck is going on? when the day ends... at the end at the day... i dunno. fuck the days
 
I use it just as standard in everyday speech.

The likes of dude/chief/boss etc are very anoying though. As is bro except in cases where I'm a really close friend and would actually consider them on a similar level to family.

I don't know mate but at the end of the day will we ever find out mate?

Yeah "bro" is annoying, but I quite like getting called 'brother' in the retail environment - "go figure" (now that phrase really does my head in)
 
Dude/chief/boss i dont mind... sarcastic shit like that ^ "go figure" and a few other wanky terms get on my tits

I am not keen on random strange men calling me "darling" or similar. Part of me wants to scream "I AM NOT YOUR DARLING, YOU CREEP!!!" But another part of me thinks "Cool, just plain ordinary misogyny as opposed to transphobia! I must be passing well today!"

I do that as standard too (or love), it's got nothing to do with mysoginy imo. It's just a meaningless address in the same way I would use mate for a male. Some women seem to hate, some seem to love it, most don't give a fuck. My mum's even berated me for adressing women as 'mate' before but would never do so for saying 'love' or 'darling'.
 
Start thinking outside the box and floating a few ideas.

Personally I prefer thinking inside the box and floating something entirely diffrenent.
 
No, didn't mean that, but I can see the Emirates from my window, so the boozers round here are mobbed - the cop cars driving through were getting pelted with cans last I checked (2pm).
 
Teehee. Remember the tv programme 'Grumpy Old men'? It reminds me of that.. ;)

I'm quite happily unaffected by what words people use. And call me what you want. (Though am quite fond of "duck" when in derbyshire.)

It's not friendly, it's common as muck :p

I have such chavvy background any such language irks me. I dragged myself away from the shell-suited hordes. I have no intention of being dragged back down ;)

Confession: My French comprehension is so very, very bad I had to use a translator and am actually not 100% sure of what I called you. It seemed closest to a horribly common term of friendly endearment that didn't come with added overtones beyond friendliness. French as a foreign language only really works when you can remember more than a handful of words of that language so it perhaps lost (or indeed gained) something in translation :o

He is the only person I know who has a thing about the word but then I get pissed off when folk say 'at the end of the day'.
Each to their own I guess.

That's another one which winds me right up. Also when people have those weird revolving conversation ("So he turned around and said... then she turned around and said..." ad infinitum).

I would normally let a stray 'mate' pass uncommented but as I've had the discussion with Pagey before she should know better :p

Also Northamptonshire where I grew up. All the auld dears call everybody "m'duck'. Was always tempted to reply in Donald Duck speak but felt a bit mean given it's very much an auld lady thing.

Mon vieux is fine - you could also have used 'mon pote' or simply 'mec', but that's a possibly a bit close to 'dude' for your liking (the French translation of the stoner [comedy] Dude, Where's My Car was Eh mec! Elle est où ma caisse?
