G'day mate When one intelligent life form greets another intelligent life form the first two words that are used are βHelloβ and βBreedβ.
Hello is used because it is a greeting that is a non-offensive acknowledgement of the other life form. Breed is used because it is an encouragement of the other life forms continuation and advancement.
In the Australian vernacular the word βGβdayβ is used in place of the word Hello. The βGβ in βGβdayβ, does away with the superior, righteous, judgemental and virtuous associations with the word βGoodβ. The use of the abbreviated βGβ in βGβdayβ gives the listener permission and logical reason to interpret the βGβ as referring to the more informal meanings of the word βGoodβ, such as happy, great, OK, courteous, and kind-hearted.
βDayβ is intelligent because it recognises a common element of the Universe which is that life forms are surrounded by planets that have periods of night and day. βDayβ does not exclusively describe a specified length of time; rather it is a word that describes that which is frequent, persistent, constant, regular, habitual and universally overt to intelligent life forms everywhere in our Universe.
Australians use βMateβ in place of the word Breed. Mate is a very intelligent and clever word because Mate encompasses all that is in the word Breed, and at the same time easily communicates the comforting affirmation that you are my friend.
Gβday Mate is the most intelligent greeting that has ever been uttered by humanity.
G'day Mate
