Cause I used to think it was something Australians did like in the US nobody says let’s go to maccas bro but Australians do

And I’m in Germany and they do also so now I’m wondering who invented it was it Australians or Germans? :lul:

that sounds so fucking shit
Jfl the only reason I understand when ppl here say it is cause I saw it in a video about different words in American vs Australian English

Then I thought it was something Aussie and it even sounds Aussie but for who knows what reason I hear it very often here in Germany every time someone wants to go to McDonald’s they say maccas I never heard a German say McDonald’s
 
We say megges (mecces) not maccas
 
we don‘t say it like that

Sounds the same tho when they say it fast

Idek if that’s how u spell it In Australian maybe it’s Mecces

Point is the pronunciation is almost the same

I assumed it would be with a C cause McDonald’s has no g

Yeah us Brits do it properly. If your gonna shorten it do it properly
Apperantly germancels are saying it’s megges like that doesn’t even sound like McDonald’s it’s a whole new word
 
we don‘t say it like that
It sounds the same tho cause the only reason I knew what the nigga was talking about when I heard it is cause I saw in some fun facts about Australia video
