Does anyone else hate the word 'mate'

[JaBlue]

I don't care about it on poker sites, but in real life "mate" is awesome.

At the last drunken party, I renamed one of my good friends Matt. His new name is the mispronunciation of his old name: Mate

When playing at any poker site, does this sound familiar?

-gg mate
-gl mate
-thx mate
etc, etc...

I should I be taking this personally? I use Mate both in real life and online (including posts here) all the time. Get some culture into your life, get over it... it's better than Pakastani's saying "my friend" all the time.

I've just been inspired to start calling everyone "Cap'n".

Thanks cap'n.
