I'm american. I know that the word "mate" is also used in England and other Europian countries. Actually, the Australians, I believe, are decendants of the English. This explains the use of slang terms common to both langauges.

My history's kinda complicated. I'm part Spanish, part Filipino, part Chinese, I grew up in LA, moved to Sydney about 12 years ago when I was 15 and never left. There's a few Aussies on this board.
