Discussion Groups / ESL Teaching / June 2006sup mate
What is the meaning of that term? Does it mean sexual partner, just a good mate or maybe something else? Regards, Wiktor I'm not familiar with the term as a noun phrase. In an Australian context, it's more likely: " 'S'up mate? ", a contraction of "What's up mate?", which is synonymous with "What's happening?", so it really doesn't mean "bed mate" or anything of an intimate partnership. Yeah, i've seen it used as an abbreviation for "What's up?" even in an english contest.
