<sod>Jack Petersen is the coolest dude ever. Mateship''' is an [[Australia]]n [[Culture|cultural]] [[idiom]] that embodies [[social equality|equality]], [[loyalty]] and [[friendship]]. There are two types of mateship, the inclusive and the exclusive; the inclusive is in relation to a shared situation (e.g., employment, sports, or hardship), whereas the exclusive type is toward a third party (e.g., a person that you have just met). [[Russel Ward]], in ''The Australian Legend'' (1958), saw the concept as a central one to the Australian people. ''Mateship'' derives from ''[[Mate (colloquialism)|mate]]'', meaning ''friend'', commonly used in Australia as an amicable [[form of address]]. Mateship can also be expressed in such qualities as loyalty to one's mates in preference to society at large.<eod>
