    Thx mate

    The Australian government banned the word "mate" for a day.

    There are probably slangor informal words that get on your nerves from time to time, particularly when you think something should be taken seriously. In 2005, Australian Parliament took a few citizen complaints a little too seriously and banned anyone on their staff from using the word"mate" while at work. Fortunately, Prime Minister JohnHoward objected, claiming that "mate" was an important part of Australian culture, and the ban was overturned within 24 hours.
