Awesomest conversation ever

[ruthhall]

So I'm in Twilight Highlands doing my dailies (I'm a druid, male troll,... one of those that always offers to invite instead of just taking kegs out from others) and I get a random whisper asking for help with CoC. Cool beans, I fly on over and someone had already started it, half the group is dead so I just wait until they wipe it up and then buff

i've never thought people were assuming i'm male when they say "man" or "dude"... I guess because people say it in real life as well. "mate" on the other hand... ARGH. :/

Mate is just the AU version of man/dude, no?

I know people who very much dislike man/dude, what's the diff between that and mate? They're just generic assuming "hey you" terms.

[kittybacklash]

I say mate all the time to everyone, and people say it to me. It's not anywhere near as gendered as man/dude = / At least not here.

I dunno, maybe it's just me personally... I usually only hear guys say it to guys where I live.

[ruthhall]

Yeah, even I've said "man" to women... I was being cheeky (and just made a huge edit due to the 29 replies to this post, wow!)

I know you were being cheeky :) it just came into my head as I was reading it... it's funny how things can be taken different ways online though.
