'Mate' in Australian English | OUPblog Anzac Poppy, Remembrance Day Posters, Hat Images, Oxford English Dictionary, Australian English, Gold Cost, Australian Army, Oxford English, Armistice Day

Mate is one of those words that is used widely in Englishes other than Australian English, and yet has a special resonance in Australia. Although it had a very detailed entry in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (the letter M was completed 1904–8), the Australian National Dictionary (AND) included mate in its first edition of 1988, thus marking it as an Australianism.
