^I agree with you totally. But 'mate' can mean things in different cultures. In America "mate" can be a verb or a noun, depending how you use it. But, many people from the U.K. use 'mate' as in a friend or a chum. One time when I was in London, a guy walked by and said, "Cheers, Mate!" and just meant a friendly hello. I think the Australians also use the term 'mate' as in a good friend. So the work can mean different things according to what context it's used with.
