a word that is commonly used by irish males,generally between the ages of twenty one up to the mid thirties.
it is a word that has only come to light over previous years,and is generally used when a male does not want to become very well attached to another individual (another male) ,often heard in the workplace,a bar,a nightclub,on a street corner,a pool hall,anywhere really.
The word "mate" is used in a completley different way from its use in Austrailia and new Zealand,and also Great Britain,and is not to be confused.
(chiefly used in the north/south dublin area,and its leafy suburbs)
