Well, I know this is an old thread, but damn! Only two threads in the entire Aussie section...? What's that all about.

Anyway, I would prefer to see Maccas change their name to MuckDonalds, as that is far more appropriate.

Nah, we're just lazy bastards. Why say Mack-Donalds, when you can say Maccas? Or, why say American when you can say yank? Short words is good words.

We don't have burger king - we have HJs (Hungry Jacks).

Here in Victoria we say, "That b****," to distinguish her from other women.
