Jamie Oliver said it all the time in his American Food Revolution program... Lets just say when i noticed it, it was all i heard.

I don't use it, I would feel weird if I did.

I think it is more associated with chavs in the UK, but it seems to be a gang thing in other countries. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Occasionally, but only in jest whilst using a mockney accent.

[Edrof]

I don't use the word as I'm not a terrible, terrible chav.

 

[Toxic Babyface]

No, never used it. I say 'mate' a lot though. I think it's more of a habbit than anything. I have always used it and so have many other people I know.
One guy took offense to it once though and told me not to say it. Suppose it can be annoying really. I was just being friendly though.

 

[krooton]

I find it chavvy, however my mates and I use it ironically.

 

[kae2]

No.

Yes.
