Some idiot reckons Aussies Don't say g'day mate. Well LET ME TELL YOU WE DO !. We say g'day as a general meeting gesture, to Both MALE AND FEMALE, YOUNG AND OLD. A Female can say g'day AND say g'day mate as well. G'DAY MATE IS ALMOST ALWAYS USED when addressing a MALE. No matter what country YOU! May come from!.Political correctness has now crawled in and Sheilas can & will call other females mate as well as to the males. (MATE), means FRIEND. (UNTIL proven OTHERWISE.).
G'day mate, howzit going?.
G'day mate.. (When casually passing someone, or , just a g'day will be very fine to use.

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.

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...
Other man: Why are you talking like that?
Man: I don't know...I just felt like being an idiot...

something said to your chums when you haven't seen them in a bit, usually with a beer in your hand and a few in your belly
also something you say to someone you meet on the street that you recognize but don't know very well. A type of "nod" and courtesy to say hello.
