    Not an apt comparison considering McDonalds for a while signed some restaurants as Maccas, and the McDonalds rewards app in Australia is literally called MyMaccas.

      Yeah, but those names came after the local usage. But to the point, I’d wager the majority of Aussies who know AC/DC and McDonalds would understand Acca Dacca and Maccas.
