Does anyone else hate the word 'mate'

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

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

I cant stand it anymore, the Euros are driving me nuts with this one. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I'm used to it, my uncle is Aussie. What bothers me more is when Americans say it because they think it's cool.

Gawd I hate it so much. I definitely hate when people type "m8" much more than "mate" too though.

I love it.

I use it to blend in, and then take their money when they're not looking.
