Well, at least where I live, Macca's has in fact become so well-known as a nickname for the good old golden arches that it is now the actual name above some of the stores in Melbourne's CBD. I am not kidding. I blinked when I first saw Macca's on the sign at one of their stores, but over time, I kinda got used to it. It's also the same with St Vincent de Paul and Salvation Army op shops here in Australia as well. The former became known as Vinnies over time, and that is now the name you see above the door. Salvation Army stores have now become known as Salvos stores. So go figure. It's a culture where a product can be even more well-known by its nickname than by it's actual brand name. Crazy!

My Australian Mene friends taught me the term Maccas. I at first kept misreading it as maracas.

I make up a lot of weird slang as I speak, so I'm pretty good at keeping up.

I probably would have to repeat them like 24/7 to be able
to memorize them.

I don't actually hear McDerples referred to with slang terms often IRL.

I actually learned myself when I was unemployed.
No one knew how to teach me anyway since i'm
left handed.
