G'day Mate

What many of us (Americans) believe to be a popular greeting in Australia. Many people get this idea from the media, which makes it seems like every time you see an Australian person they will say this.
NOT TRUE!
I spent 2 weeks there and didn't here that ONCE!
Yes, they say mate and an occasional g'day but I never heard them together.
It's more of a stereotype than anything else.

American (sees Australian, wants to make it look like
Americans know anything about other cultures): G'day Mate!

Australian: Wtf? Oh, hello.

American: I thought all Australians say that.

Australian: Nope, almost none of us do.

American (feels like an idiot): Bye then.

Australian (thinks, what an idiot): Bye.

g'day mate

A phrase usually meant to be slang from Australia meaning "Hello friend". Oddly enough, most Australians don;t use this phrase and most see it as very stereotypical.

Man: G'day mate!

Other man: Why are you talking like that?

Man: I don't know...I just felt like being an idiot...
