G'day Mate

When one intelligent life form greets another intelligent life form the first two words that are used are “Hello” and “Breed”.

Hello is used because it is a greeting that is a non-offensive acknowledgement of the other life form. Breed is used because it is an encouragement of the other life forms continuation and advancement.

In the Australian vernacular the word “G’day” is used in place of the word Hello. The “G” in “G’day”, does away with the superior, righteous, judgemental and virtuous associations with the word “Good”. The use of the abbreviated “G” in “G’day” gives the listener permission and logical reason to interpret the “G” as referring to the more informal meanings of the word “Good”, such as happy, great, OK, courteous, and kind-hearted.

“Day” is intelligent because it recognises a common element of the Universe which is that life forms are surrounded by planets that have periods of night and day. “Day” does not exclusively describe a specified length of time; rather it is a word that describes that which is frequent, persistent, constant, regular, habitual and universally overt to intelligent life forms everywhere in our Universe.

Australians use “Mate” in place of the word Breed. Mate is a very intelligent and clever word because Mate encompasses all that is in the word Breed, and at the same time easily communicates the comforting affirmation that you are my friend.

G’day Mate is the most intelligent greeting that has ever been uttered by humanity.

G’Day Mate 

G’Day Mate is the act of applying Australian Gold Sunscreen to one’s anus prior to Butthole Sunning. In case you’re wondering, like I was, Butthole Sunning is an actual thing. Apparently “absorbing sunlight through your anus is a great way to recharge your whole system”.
Chris: “Hey Sarah, it’s supposed to be 85 and sunny tomorrow....you know what that means!”

Sarah: “Sure do! It means you’re still worried about your melanoma coming back and you need me to give your asshole a G’Day Mate.”

Chris: *sad faced* “Yes.”
