Well maybe thenewgreen and I are really really close and were in a very emotional conversation ;)

Seriously, I really appreciate this. Nuances such as this are not always found in beginner books. It's exciting (and of course extremely frustrating at times) to work out the oddities of French. Now's the time to work out kinks before I accidentally offend.

Is there a formal replacement for mon pote? Would you just skip the phrase? Would ma poteau be the female equivalent? Or is it mes poteau for plural? Still have a bit of trouble with gender and endings
