The Importance of Knowing What It Means

The word mate is often used for strangers or acquaintances, people you don't know very well. I actually don't like to use it personally becauseI think it sounds a little bit cold. So I will only use it with my friends, like my really close friends. And when I want to pretend to be cool, I kind of as a joke, because of course I'm not actually cool. The word sick can mean when you're feeling unwell, you want to be sick,. You want to throw up maybe. It's good to know what it means, of course. But there's no need to use it.
