That kid was just being cheeky. The use of sarcastic mate is infuriating: if you're in the middle of a fight with someone and they call you "mate" it makes me so angry because it's so obvious that you're NOT mates.
I can totally see where you come from. This may also depend on how sarcastic the other person is, their tone of voice, facial expression. All of that makes it really hard for any non-English speaker to know what people may mean if they call you mate in the middle of a fight.
First time I see your channel, great work 👍
I saw you had no comments, so leaving a comment to bait the rhythm of algo gods.....
Thanks for the support! I have to put more into editing and I hope that you enjoyed the episode🤝

I tell people, just to be safe try not to use any of these to avoid any confusion 😅
