Macca's - an Australian-made nickname up in lights for Australia Day - Polidicks

Micky D's McDicks McShits Pick one

Here (Florida) I always hear Micky D's

Never used Macca's, I call it a Weight Gain Center

They've been calling it Macca's in a lot of ads recently, I'd say it's more effective because they can get the product name in without a disconnect between what they say and what we say. The fun in the name is in it being a nickname though, and if they tried to make it official, as in more than this promotional change, it'd ruin it. McDonalds is the standard on the market, the one that appeals to comfort more than edginess, don't try and make the brand cool when it's already more than successful.

is it true you brits call burger king "Biggy K"

mate it's all about the macca's run before popping a squat into town for mainies and barnsy

Humburger.

You guys are weird, here in my country people just call it McD's or McDonalds.

Maccaaaaaas...!

I always forget that different countries have different knicknames for it, everyone gets confused when I say "brb, going for maccas run" online.

Mecces here in germany

Strange, I actually live in the Sutherland Shire and I barely hear people call it Macca's at all. I'm aware of the nickname, but most people I know just call it McDonalds.

[QUOTE=Salricci;39136719]is it true you brits call burger king "Biggy K"[/QUOTE] I have never heard that.

Mcdo (mac-do) in France.

oi cunt we gon head down to maccas pick us up some grub

[QUOTE=Badballer;39135512]That's awesome, I hope this happens to the maccas down the road from my house. [editline]8th January 2013[/editline] btw for non-Aussies, we always put an 'a' or 'o' at the end of a name. For example, anyone with the name Barry is called Bazza.[/QUOTE] Australian English is very lazy. Almost everything gets nicknamed in such a way as to reduce the name to the least amount as syllables as possible with letters that are the easiest to pronounced. One of the neighbouring suburb's to mine, Laverton, is referred to as 'Lavo' by everybody around here. The 'z' thing is more affectionate with people's names, though, and it doesn't necessarily make them any easier to pronounce. One of my friends has the surname 'Barnes' and everybody knows him as 'Barnzey'.

Oh, and when we aren't calling it mickey d's, we be calling it Mack Donnals

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;39134230]McDicks for Canada Day[/QUOTE] What I wouldn't give to see them put this up in lights.

Maybe it's because I live in a semi-posh area but I only hear Bogans calling it Macca's. Makes sense if they're trying to reach a target audience.

[QUOTE=Whomobile;39152246]Maybe it's because I live in a semi-posh area but I only hear Bogans calling it Macca's. Makes sense if they're trying to reach a target audience.[/QUOTE] Probably along with something happening at "macca's" involving "Boongs" and petrol coming up missing.

In my neighborhood we just call it the Rumbly Tumbly Burger Barn.

You got some fine ass bitches serving up your cheese burgers over there.

Its bad enough we call Burger King 'Hungry Jacks' fucking dumb and I hate it

[QUOTE=Brochacho;39152589]Its bad enough we call Burger King 'Hungry Jacks' fucking dumb and I hate it[/QUOTE] Cos that's totally Burger King's fault.

[QUOTE=Red scout?;39135692]In Sweden we call it "Donken"[/QUOTE] I wondered why people rated you funny, I checked and learned that donk is ghettoslang for a big booty.

[QUOTE=Brochacho;39152589]Its bad enough we call Burger King 'Hungry Jacks' fucking dumb and I hate it[/QUOTE] There was already a Burger King before the US could branch to Australia, due to legal issues it had to be renamed. For a while they did call the stores Burger King, a short while after they expanded to Australia, but legal issues with the Australian corporation Burger King, forced them to have the name Hungry Jacks.

Macduck here in Russia.

[QUOTE=Dog;39135730]hey we call it Maccas in New Zealand too bloody aussies always stealing everything[/QUOTE] Stole our pavlova you cunts

We even call it Maccas on tv ads, so I don't see any problem with this. Also funny story. Some friends and I were at Houston airport, and we needed dinner. So one of my friends asked some random guy where "the maccas was." He replied by saying they didn't have one at the airport. We were completely confused because an airport in texas seems like a place where one would definitely have to be. Then we realised he had no idea what the hell a maccas was.
