Mate - Not really trying, are you?
Buddy - Bit soft.
Pal - You're old, go home.
Thanks for the clarification. I avoid using any of them if I can. Though I run with mate when I can’t remember someone’s name.

I'd be leaving, by any means possible.
Satellite photos show what appear to be Chinese armoured personnel carriers and other military vehicles across the border from Hong Kong.
Parked in a sports complex in the city of Shenzhen, the deployment has been interpreted as a threat from Beijing to use increased force against pro-democracy protesters.
The pictures, collected on Monday by Maxar’s WorldView, show 500 or more vehicles sitting on and around the soccer stadium at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Centre.
The military force is just across the harbour from the Asian financial hub that has been rocked by near-daily street demonstrations.
