The Aussie language

Even though English is spoken here there are still new words to learn - well mainly abbreviations of words. The Aussies love to abbreviate and most of these new words end in 'y' (or 'ie', not sure how you spell them) or 'o'. For instance

Ambo is short for paramedic
Firey is short for fireman
Tanty is short for tantrum
Arvo is short for afternoon
Davo is short for Dave!!!!!!
