I suppose 'mate' is pretty universal for most men though.
It's 'ay up me duck' here too.

Re: Regional greetings

Re: Regional greetings

When I meet an acquaintance we usually greet each other by christian names or a shortened version. I find some of the greetings on this thread more irritating than some on Tarantula's thread.

Re: Regional greetings

I usually just say Hi or Hello.

If there are dogs involved it's different, dogs are greeted enthusiastically, male dogs with "Hello Mate" and females with "Hello Darlin'"

Re: Regional greetings

I like to use a "chicken"
Or a "sweetie/sweets"
Or a "lovely"

If it's someone VERY close
They can be babe or baby


Hmm..Perhaps I ought to delete this message before someone makes mincemeat out of me!
