Ai.
When they mean friend. Im pretty sure mate is something used to be familiar with someone you dont know. Comes from the ports on the South Coast of England when the British Navy was introduced. The locals couldn't remember everyones name so they called them mate or matey. I think that is the case. It has just become incredibly overused by every barman, shopkeeper, colleague I seem to come across.
