Aussie is Australian slang for Australian and less commonly, Australia.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Aussie can be used in the form of an adjective, noun, or proper noun.
Pronunciation
In Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, United Kingdom, and Ireland, the word is pronounced /ˈɒzi/ OZ-ee (Australian English [ˈɔzi]), with a /z/ sound;[2] however, in the United States, it is most often pronounced (incorrectly) /ˈɔːsi/ AW-see with an /s/ sound.[7][8][9] Pronouncing the word with an /s/ in place of the /z/ is considered by Australians to be a canonically American error.
Ethnic usage
Aussie is used defensively by some Australians as a term of identification for people and as a nickname for the traditional cultural group (of Anglo-Celtic descent).[10]
Chants
- C'mon Aussie C'mon, an Australian cricket anthem.
