In Ghana, West Africa, this would be the conductor of a Tro-Tro. The mate collects bus fares, makes change, signals stops, arranges passengers and advertizes the tro-tro route, simultaneously.
Passenger: "Mate, Bus-stop, Atomic Junction"
Translation: Mate, could you please stop the van at Atomic Junction (name of a bus stop).
Mate: Pounds on door (and driver stops)
Passenger: Meedaase.
Translation: Thank-you

Originating from a certain public school which might be somewhere in the south of England perhaps, this is usually shouted at someone who has none. When yelled, it means "aha, you have no friends."
After a bad joke: "Oh, mates Jim."
OR, when talking about someone, "oh yeah, Jim has mates."
Except we come from good backgrounds therefore know nobody by the name of Jim.

A word stolen by Australians from the English. A common word used in Australia, said to be an "aussie saying". This is a lie, it originated from England!
