Aussie speak: Maccas

In every corner of the world, McDonalds has been given a unique nickname. I only know three though: Mickey-D's in the US. Macdo in the Philippines. And Maccas in Australia. Aussies just like to shorten just about everything. 'Supa Centa' (super center) and Whacka (Whacker) are two of my favorites because they're brand names. Supa Centa is a store while Whacka is a gadget in car washes where you clean your mats by whacking them on it.
