+143 They should mate a "Stereotypical British" language for the benefit of all us American Britain-lovers on facebook including stereotypically British words like "mate" and "cheerio" and "tellie" and things like that, amirite?

'Mate' is used most famously by Australians, but I know heaps of English people that say 'mate' too :)

They say it in Harry Potter, so it's gotta be at least partially legit.
