Mate and dude, but chief and guy sometimes (as in "alright guy" strange typing it out but it works in speech lol)

Where's "bint" on the list? lol

I don't like any, I find them condensing.

You missed 'Mon'.

I normally greet friends and people I work with, "Howzit bru" or if it is a lady, just a "Hello, Good morning" followed by their name.

Squire or Sir.

Man, but "bro" is creeping up more often, thanks to everyone in NZ using it. Or just a heeeeyaaagawin!

"Mate" - it's nice and generic. There are people at work who use too many - mate, matey, amigo, hoss - it winds me up :rolleyes:

Yeah but that's what makes everyone, we're all different. Would you prefer we all said and done the same things? Don't get so wound up

What do you call people?
