Shortened Words

Ok - we really are leaving for the boat in a matter of minutes, but I had to post about how Aussies shorten like every word. It is hilarious. See below:

• Mozzies(mosquitoes)
• Brekky (breakfast, and this is literally on signs all over the country)
  
• Aussies (obvious one but further proof)
  
• Barbie (BBQ)
  
• Tele (television)
  
• Macker's (not sure on spelling on that one, but that one stands for McDonald's)
• Sunnies (also not sure on spelling but this is for sunglasses)
  

I have been making note everytime I hear one, so stay tuned for more words as our trip goes on.
