“AC/DC” is pronounced one letter at a time, though the band are colloquially known as “Acca Dacca” in Australia.
Not really, it’s like calling McDonald’s “maccies” (or “maccas” in Australia I think)?
Yeah, it’s a nickname. We all know it’s “A.C.D.C” but we say Acca Dacca cause that’s what Aussies do.
It’s kinda more fun to say it that way with a bogan accent too (that’s like redneck or chav depending on where you’re from) ,
‘oi daz? Youse know where me accadacca tape is? I’m farkin frothin for some back in black. Also, give us a dart’
^not how we talk, just a fun exaggeration.
Mate, I worked at Bunnings for seven years and I can tell you for a fact, there are plenty of people out there who actually talk like that. I’d put it on when I was working the trade yard so that tradies/handymen would (ironically) take me more seriously.
That’s correct. But I’m still confused. I’m from a “maccas” country (they actually use the term themselves).
Do other countries call it “maccies”?
Yeah, no. In Canada it’s maybe referred to as McDee’s, Micky Dee’s, McDonald’s, but nothing similar to Macca’s
As an Australian living in Canada, yes it’s Macca’s in Australia, but a Canadian friend also told me they have McDicks.
Around here people call it McDoof. Not sure if that’s a local thing or not.
I’ve heard MickyDee’s rarely, normally its just McDonalds, but otherwise only Macca’s from Australians.
Of all of them this is the most confusing.
Are seagulls arch shaped in Norway?
Ugh, multinational conglomerates pretending to be hip to the local lingo is the fucking worst 🤦
