how many of you say stuff like "hey man" or "alright mate". i find myself in texts adding the word "mate" or "dude" but i've started wondering why i do it. and at work i say "thanks mate" sometimes rather than just thankyou. so yea, anyone else do it?
Yeah I always say man, pretty much by default when greeting someone. Can't help it really. It's interchangable with 'mate' but that's a regional thing.
I say man pretty often when texting and when talking lol Don't know where or when I picked it up but it just seems natural to my language
I never say any of it in speech but after a time on this site I find myself using dude and maybe man when I post here..
75% of my sentences involve "man" or "dude" and I don't even smoke. I make it a point to say it to pretty much every girl I talk to
as long as you don't say "duck" or "chuck" i think it's tolerable. those ones are pretty regional though i think. regional ones are the worst.
