The Australian slang word of breakfast is Brekkie. Australians use it in casual English and do not show any disdain toward those who do not eat breakfast, such as I had eggs and toast. It is also common in the slang used in Australia to shorten words to give the speech a friendly and casual sound. The alternative of brekkie to the regular breakfast means that you are culturally aware and you represent more as a local. It is one of the most frequently used phrases in everyday life, particularly in social and family relationships so it is a necessity to learners of Australian English.
