In case you haven’t realised, Australian English is known for being a tad, well… ‘lazy’. We’re notorious around the world for being laid back folks, always ready for a cold beer and a long yarn. And when you get us talking, our penchant for abbreviating words really comes through.

For example, if you asked how my weekend was, I might say: I went out with a mate for brekky on Satdee and then we went home, I put on my trackies and we listened to Accadacca all arvo.

This funny video demonstrates just how far Aussies have gone when it comes to abbreviating almost everything we say.

It was fun to watch realise how many words I find myself using day-to-day.

What about you?
