Well, it's not really a term used much here in Australia, the guy who called me that was Scottish. A good bloke, but I didn't like being called pal very much. I wonder now, on the etymology of the word. I'll have to look it up as I'm interested now.

Oh, it isn't a common word?
I have no idea on what the word may have meant in those days, but I know now it means "friend".
Yeah, it means friend or mate.
It's not Australian at all.
