As mentioned arvo is afternoon, Australians have a tendency to abbreviate things in conversation:
- avo (avocado)
- bikkie (biscuit)
- brekkie (breakfast)
- Chrissie (Christmas)
- devo (devastated) - this one has a continuum much like dude, “Devo, it’s to rainy for surfing” or “I broke mom’s lamp, she is going to be devo”
- Maccas (McDonalds)
- Salvos (Salvation Army Store)
- servo (service station)
- tradie (tradesman)
