Do you address people of the opposite sex as "mate" or "aussie"? Also, ALLOTOT, do you address members of the same sex as "mate" or "lass" or "aussie"?

This is for a professional case study and all findings will be reported directly to the head of anthorpology at Duke University.

Your methods aren't very scientific. Good luck getting your findings published.

Australian culture is generally relaxed and laid back. Aussies often greet their friends and even people they don't know by saying "G'day" or "Ow ya goin mate".

I know for certain from being there several times that "Mate" is a colloquial word for friend. This would be similar to American terms like - man, dude, or buddy.

Mate is used to reference a man but you’ll even hear some Australian women using this word.
