Why do people say "See you later mate"?

[Aid4nTheNoob]

During your suspension I'd suggest you have a read of the FAQ, specifically the prohibition on trolling.

It's just another way of saying bye.

No personal attacks

Something I say all the time, Just a way of saying goodbye but not something you really think about more just something you do. Sure it's got some customary history link that's evolved over the years in it ?

Anyway "Take it easy mate N see ya latar"

 

[Marky]

Just a figure of speech, I wouldn't read much into it...

 

[Skillmister]

See you later.

 

[Princey]

[airrunner]

Im surprised it's puzzeled you to make a thread on it. It's "Figure of Speech".

 

[Nitefly]

It's exactly the same as 'hasta luego' - goodbye implies a finality. See you later does not, thus is a more socially acceptable approach to parting ways. The same can be said of 'see you', 'laters' or even 'byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!'
