Aussie abbreviations

A couple Australia abbreviations that we liked:

brekky - breakfast
eski - eskimo, i.e. ice cooler
snorkie - snorkel
brissy - brisbane (city in queensland)
rocky - rockhampton (city in queensland)
footie - football (but this is rugby, not football as in what americans or europeans think)
bikies - biker gangs (i imagine they get upset with that sissy sounding name)
avo - afternoon

Not an abbreviation, but it was fun to see the Aussie name for "elevator" too:
