Australian terms..

things are different here....I learned some new stuff in Australia, especially their English terms...Im doing Australian studies, of course...I also must learn english coz I got IELTS in 2010...and I MUST GET THE BAND SCORE OF 7!!!....so high.....Im doing nursing now...if I dont get the 7, I wouldn't be enrolled into the nurses board of South Australia....haiiiih . I learned english, I also found out tat Australian english can be a little different...they dont like long words or full words sumtimes...if u dont understand, here's an example:

McDonald is the full word. To them its quite long to pronoune...so they shorten it McD or Maccas...

there are few short terms words tat I juz learned...here's wat I know:


Australian - Aussie
Cigarette - Cigie
Barbeque - Barbie
Mosquito - Mozzie

I remember there's a major shopping company in Australia called Woolworths.....tat name has short term too, which is Woolies....

Aussies love short terms...easier to pronounce words, so to speak..
