Old mate

A politically correct way of referring to “that dirty old bastard”, ie. a third person, usually a creepy chap, sitting a few barstools away from you and your group at your local pub.

There we were after work at the pub playing pool, when old mate, decides to pull the smooth moves on my mates missus!
That dirty old bastard! He can have her mate...
