see, that's where yu can make it sound wrongTraxione wrote:I'm the same, I now call my buds "mate," "chap" and use "brilliant", "cheers", and "mental" which great regularity.
I've even adopted a slight accent as though an american accent cannot do these words the justice they deserve.
Cheers, mates.
yu never say mates, plural, in that context
(unless yur an old Cornish pirate)
Yu can say: Cheers mate or Cheers boys, fellas, guys....
or yu can refer to my mates
but Howdy mates will make yu a yank everytime.
