old mate

n. Australian colloquialism. A replacement term for a person's name within a sentence. Usage stems from the idea that a person need not be named during a statement or anecdote, but that his or her identity can be deduced by the context of the message.

Sometimes the identity of old mate may not be discernable from the message's context. Quite often in such instances the identity is immaterial to the underlying message.
Person one: "I had sex with old mate. Again."
Person two: "You have to stop fucking her, seriously."

or

Person one: "Old mate dropped by and we watched the cricket for a bit."
Person two: "McGrath had a shocker, hey...."

Soul-Mate

Seeing and meeting a person for the first time and immediately having a connection that not only transcends in the physical but most importantly in the spiritual. Its a feeling that you have always known that person, maybe from a past life, and automatically feel love for that person in the present. You want to be part of their lives and don't care of their past as an individual, but want to evolve with that person in a life together...in having a future together! It's an easy and effortless feeling to give every part of your soul to that person that you consider your soul-mate. Its a love that is more than physical but a love that is truely from God. A love that can overcome all obstacles and hardships in the relationsip...its trust, respect, kindness, honor, and faith.
You see that person for the first time and its not about their apperance, but a connection that is heart-sticken with possibility of being together and intertwineing into one. To share happiness, joy, saddness, hurt, and anything life throws at you. But you know that you can do it together and forever as a team...cause you have your soul-mate by your side.
