See Kuiper (2007), op. cit., [Needed here is a further citation to define the term.], and Maugham (1915), op. cit.

In modern English, the idiom is defined as "heartily friendly and congenial, comradely, hail-fellow—characteristic of or befitting a friend; 'friendly advice'; 'a friendly neighborhood'; 'the only friendly person here'; 'a friendly host and hostess'." As such, the idiom is used as an exaggerated greeting, or as a description of a personality type. Hence, modern use of the term tends to be deliberately archaic, with overtones of over-familiarity in the person so described (almost always male), or as a deliberate, tongue in cheek term of endearment; in the latter case it heightens the effect of the greeting of an unexpected friend (as in "the only friendly person here"), or to communicate the idea of a friend in an otherwise unfriendly environment.

Reviewing the book for The Canberra Times, Don Aitkin observed that Fadden had "the reputation of a political buffoon, a man of earthy wit and hail-fellow-well-metness who survived in politics because he knew more and better stories than the next man [...] his autobiography does little to destroy that picture". Shortly before his death in 1973 he also published a nine-page account of his prime ministership in Australian Outlook, titled "Forty days and forty nights". Fadden suffered from ill health during his retirement, including a bout of hepatitis and a vision defect that left him blind in one eye and required an operation to correct. He died of leukaemia on 21 April 1973, aged 79, at St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital in Brisbane.

Everett, 1900 recorded (albeit inaccurately in relation to Christian's alleged illiteracy) that: > It was Dick Christian’s profession to earn his living out of the hunting > field. He rode in many steeple chases but was never a cross-country jockey > as we understand the phrase. He bought and sold many horses, but was never a > professional dealer. He was paid for giving opinions upon the merits or > demerits of many horses, but he was never a veterinary surgeon. He was “hail > fellow well met” with everybody from George IV to an earthstopper, and could > hardly write his own name. Among the famous races in which Dick Christian took part was the 1826 steeplechase between Horatio Ross’s horse Clinker and George Osbaldeston’s Clasher.

Theatre historian and author W. J. MacQueen-Pope, who worked with Coyne on The Merry Widow, described him as "a curious-looking fellow, with a round face and a pair of rather sad eyes, loose-limbed and with a habit of kicking out on each side with his feet as he walked. Here was a man who could twist a woman round his finger without effort, but his simple, wistful appeal, and who also would be hail-fellow- well-met with the men; there was the smile and the lurking mischief in the eye, which peep forth from time to time, to prove it. "On the stage Joseph Coyne was unique. Few, very few, men had the mixture of charm, ability and talent which he possessed, and few, very few, ever stormed the hearts of the British Public as did this young American.
