I refuse to speak Aussie!

Australians abbreviate everything... EVERYTHING.  Things you wouldnt even think of abbreviating, like the Salvation Army.  They dont have the bell ringers at Christmas here, so how often do you talk about Salvation Army that you have to abbreviate it?  But they do, "Salvos."  It even says Salvos on the sign.  Here are a few classics that are used everyday.  Seriously, I hear this shit every....single...day.  Enjoy!
