Australians are known for their use of the phrase "G'day mate" and that's considered stereotypically Australian. But where did it originate? Do people in England, Ireland, Scotland, or some other English speaking country say it continuously in their speech? I would like to know the origin of it.
The only idea I've heard is that it originated in London and is part of Cockney speech.
