"Mate" this, "mate" that...

[Deleted User]

Tag a "mate", you alright "mate" and so on.

The word in Ireland is "friend", and it's not really used at the end of sentences in the way Cockneys or Australians do.

It's time to stop pretending we're on the set of Home and Away or Eastenders.

It's interchangeable, someone calling me mate, friend, pal or buddy wouldn't really bother me or most people I would have presumed.

I'd take "pal" to be a bit edgy. As in "relax, pal".

"Buddy" can be okay, very much used in Cork.

This "mate" thing...not for me. Much like words like "twat" or "plonker", used by Irish people who just can't resist aping our neighbours...

Pal is the go to choice in Scotland surprised you don't hear it more in Ireland.

Do they often say "magic" in Scotland too? I used to work with a Scotish woman, only had contact through phone and everything was "magic". I think it means "grand".

China is also used in Scotland. Not sure where that one came from.

Agree fully. Particularly irksome trend. I have the pleasure in taking the piss out of any Irish person who says "mate" in my presence. I used to be more polite and just raise my eyes up but fúck that when I can get a good rant out of Mr Vacuous "Wherever English fashions go I follow". Lost, uprooted traditionless souls. "British Isles", "high street" and referring to the island of Britain as "mainland Britain" (implying that there's a part of Ireland that is part of Britain) are the other three that I'll pull an Irish person up on.

Well boss.

The word in Ireland is "horse".

The o.p. must be some kind of agent trying to foment division between "Horse and his mates".

Away tae fcuk with ye pal.

That's serious little Irelander syndrome right there

Felix Jones is God

"How's that man"? Is common enough....but normally used when the other fckers name escapes you.

I do call people "sunshine"....gets a few funny stares alright

What the fúck does that mean? Ah, a parody; you've heard of Little Englander (but clearly not its origins) and then slavishly misapplied it to Ireland (unintentionally failing to capitalise Little of course). Well done.
