For better or worse, fought in every British campaign since joining the Commonwealth.

EDIT: and probably almost everything before that.

Anyone who unironically substitutes the word "sex" with "mate" should be put on some sort of list

I'm definitely guilty of that when I'm not shitposting in a thread about non-brits using british slang...

I also use gratuitous German though, so everything is fair game ;)

TC ain't even British that he's bitching about this. I could tell because he didn't post "It's a bit cringe."

This topic is making me question how Aussies and Brits see each other. Are Brits overlooking that they shipped off their contrymen to a faraway island for petty crimes and now trying to maintain that by gatekeeping the language?

No Brit is going to care if an Aussie says mate. We know full well we both say it.

And Australia being a "prison island" is a joke old as time itself that has gone beyond overuse.

Exactly. It's just that: a joke.

I hate listening to Americans say "mate". The inflection is all wrong. You'll never hear the same biting sarcasm from a bogan prick who's clearly intending to call you an asshole, because the way you say it is so soft and round - there's no room for the multitude of inflections that give it its ubiquity. It's terrible.

Exactly. It's as cringy as hearing someone say "methinks".
