The 'M' Word 

One of the most dreaded words to hear for single, Australian men aspiring to hook up with a woman he's fancied for a while.

The first time she utters this word to him, tears his heart in half and every subsequent time only makes it hurt even more.

Its a subtle way of the woman rejecting him in a more informal way.

There can be no more harmful word spoken by a woman to the single, Australian bloke.

The word is 'MATE'.
Bazza: "Shazza, you keen for a coffee or a movie sometime?"
Shazza: "Sure, MATE. How about next weekend?"

Bazza goes to best mate the next day.

Daz: "So dude, did you ask out Shazza yet?"
Bazza: "Yeah man, but she dropped the 'M' word."
Daz: "Ouch, you got burnt bro haha!"
