Code

From The Sydney Morning Herald:

Male code prevents us telling mates we love 'em

"Classic acceptable male friendship: the kind John Howard was probably thinking of during the constitutional preamble debate over mateship. If you swap Cold War for the Anzac spirit - whatever that is - you've got a transliteration of Aussie mateship."

"Urban tribes: where people...cover the increasingly long gap between university and a long-term relationship with a web of close friendships[where] we live, work and play together."

heh.

All hail urban tribes!
