Um. Hmmm 🤔 Not sure if I like it or if it makes them sound like they are part of a porn magazine enterprise? Like “Hey guys come check out my spready, the columns & rows auto populate.” 🤣
Every Australian I know calls a presentation a “prezzo”. An afternoon is an “arvo”. A flanalette shirt is a “flanno”. My wife is “the misso”. A bottle shop (liquor store) is a “bottlo”. A David is a “Davo” and a Steven a “Stevo” (unless you don’t like them in which case you’d use their actual name)
Hi might have caught Australianosis from a crowded elevator or toilet seat. People often develop the affliction without the accent, disdain for authority or other obvious symptoms. There is no cure unfortunately
This feels like an awful thing I would come out with 😩 called Greggs 'Greggles' yesterday and my friend said "I love how you have a cute name for everything". Haven't stooped 'Spready' low yet...
After reading some of the replies in this thread, I would seriously advise many of your followers to think very carefully before coming to Australia, especially if you're going to Brissie, where you can have brekky in the morning, and a barbie in the arvo.
The place will drive youse crazy.
At least English is your native language. We get this type of English slang all the time in Sweden. Can have a normal conversation with people these days without 10% English words and americanised buzz words.
When I worked in a boatyard we used to call the forklift the “forkie”. Know what we called the tractor that we modified so it would run on rails like a train? The “choo choo”

"by e. o. d.,"
I'll ask,
"Why is 'end-of-day' too many syllables for you?"
... wait, they're not Australian? dammit, this could've been so much funnier
The place will drive youse crazy.
