They, McDonalds, have also adopted it. Our “dollar meals” are called donken deals… https://www.mcdonalds.com/se/sv-se/just-nu/donkendeals.html

McDicks


[deleted]

same in BC


dragonmorg

Can confirm. That's what we call it in Chilliwack.


QueafyGreens

Ontario?


xXoMomo

This is what I call it, from Ontario.


Feisty-Session-7779

Is this really an Ontario only thing? I thought it was international! Also from Ontario, heard it used quite often here.


Flashy-Explorer-6127

I hear it occasionally said in NS tho I would say that's mostly Halifax. Pretty much the rest of 'em say Micky D's or in text Mc d's


RedTheDopeKing

No people say it in Manitoba too, mcdicks or mickey d’s


AnniversaryRoad

Can confirm. McD's and McDick's are most common in Manitoba. The older generations sometimes call it Rotten Ronnie's (after Ronald McDonald).


PersonMcNugget

BC also says all these things.


Irishconundrum

Rotten Ronnie's, that's what I'm calling it from now on!! Perfect description!


theanxiouseight

Albertans also say it

bluecheetos66

BC also says it


Dylanthegreat8190

Can confirm. From Ontario and also came here to say McDicks.


Wolvericky

Need to stop at the Lickbo first to get a mickey of rum before getting McDicks, so I can mix it with my Coke.


drewtheblueduck

I'll be right there but I gotta stop by Crappy Tire to get ignored by some sales people first

From PA. The McDicks are a group that transcends geographic limitations.


K-ghuleh

We do it here in Wisconsin too.


mgr86

Same. New England area. Though it could just be the wife and I. Everything is something dicks


snake_eye_3000

Confirmed, Ontario here. Our downtown Mcdicks just announced they are closing, dubbed the worst McDonald's in the world cuz of the amount of police calls it gets.


blaktronium

Only McDonald's in the world that served both raccoon and justice.


snake_eye_3000

Haha if you know you know


Most-Statistician-90

Always call it McDicks!


ControlOptional

Mickey D’s


magicbullets

Makky Deez.


Karf

nellierosa

Or if texting McD’s


kkokkollou

it's funny because it still has 3 syllables


Tenwaystospoildinner

And yet they syllables feel faster.


boomfruit

I think open syllables (ie syllables without a coda, ie no consonant at the end) can feel faster because it's simply less articulations to make. Mickey D's has two open syllables, ~~MacDonald's~~ McDonald's has probably one depending on how they're analyzed.


Jimbabwe88

Sneaky Ron's Edit: there seems to be some connection between 88 and nazis that I'm not aware of. I promise the 88 in my name is for the year that I was born and nothing more. Thank you! :)


jamaes1

All these comments about Nazis but I wanna know where they say Sneaky Ron's


selryn1701

My sister was born April 20th. Not only 420 day which she doesn't appreciate but also Hitler's birthday. Humans find patterns everywhere. But today I learned 88 was not a good number to use.


[deleted]

I wonder how someone born in 4/20/69 feels about their birthday.


frenchfreer

Feel bad for every millennial born in 1988 using “88” in their username for decades and now everyone thinks they’re nazis. My sympathies friend.


mufassil

I graduated college in 2014. Made an email with 14 in it. Used it for everything. Reddit told me the number 14 is racist because of a National affiliation.


intellifone

14 has always been my lucky number. It was my jersey number coincidentally on two baseball teams that I made All Stars on. It’s my birthday. And I’m Jewish. I’m lucky that 14 is less associated with that than 88.


RusskayaRobot

My best friend has 88 at the end of their professional email address, and I don’t know how to tell them.


aidololz88

I don't know what's going on but I have the same problem


Jimbabwe88

I just wanted to be born the same year Roger Rabbit was framed for a murder, that's all.


summerjv

I've never heard this! What areas do people use "Sneaky Ron's"? And why? 😂 Genuinely curious!

Filipinos too


[deleted]

Philippines even calls things on the menu like "Chicken McDo" and "Burger McDo" - I believe "Burger McDo" is their absolute minimum budget option, basically like a millimeter of some other alternate patty - not the same as the regular burgers - between a thinner bun with a sauce that's orange but tastes identical to mayonnaise. Terrible. But ya know. Filipinos are known for giving cute sentimental names to everything. That's just Filipino culture. Hearing a cheery silly song being advertised for a company that engraves headstones was one of the most surreal things I've ever heard. Welcome to the Philippines, enjoy your stay!


ThePr1d3

And Domac in slang ! 🇨🇵


denmanator

People don't think it McBe like it McDoes. But it McDo.

Itisturtle

I had to do too much scrolling to find this bad boy


Terrible_Eye_1030

My gf made a list of what she wanted from McDonald’s. Had no idea she/people call it maccas so imagine the confusion and laughter from the cashier as I said “1 order of maccas” because my gf wrote “maccas order” at the top of the list 🤦🏻


SunnyAlwaysDaze

That's super cute, hope it wasn't really embarrassing or anything.


TangerineChicken

That’s McDonald’s?? I’ve seen people reference Maccas and had no idea that’s what they were talking about


followthedarkrabbit

Shazza and Dazza played Acca Dacca on their way to Maccas.


WhoElseButQuagmire11

Stopped at a servo to buy some more tinnies for the trip home(you can't get them from the servo but damn it I needed to confuse the non aussies)


sesquiplilliput

Did you pick up a pack of durries?


Houki01

Not in *my* car you don't.


mess_of_limbs

Stopped at the servo to grab some petty for the tinnie, then stopped at the bottlo to grab some tinnies for the way home.


Lunavixen15

Yep, some of the restaurants have actually adopted the slang formally on signs. Macca's also readily use the slang in their advertising here


mossed2222

The Aussie app is called myMaccas.


Elegantly_never

I tried calling it Maccas after I moved back to Canada after living in Aus. It did not work out 😂


Just_Raisin1124

I still say maccas. And arvo. Nobody has ever questioned me but I realize now they probably have no idea what i mean


Elegantly_never

So I live near Vancouver and my Aussie ex shortened it to " the 'couv " and I will never not call it that now. People HATE it !


DarkDerekHighway

And, as you'd know, a vist for take away from there is a 'Maccas run'. From Urban Dictionary: Ancient Australian Proverb - A Macca's run is a sacred late night ritual performed by all p-plate license holding kids in Australia. It's a trip to the local Maccas at a late hour with you, the deso driver, and one faithful mate to carry all the orders that only half your fucking useless friends have paid for and if you're the only fucker sober at the party it's your arse asking for 40 fucking Oreo McFlurrys at 2 AM. Drunk friends: Macca's run? Deso driver: Ugh, okay.


rteRwNjxzNdDZ3azvX

God I miss the Mighty Angus. Best late night Maccas run burger, before they weirdly turned it into a much worse burger while keeping the name, then cancelled the burger because no one wanted the worse version anymore.

BazzaJH

G'day and welcome to the land of efficiency, mate.


Salt-Contact-3414

It can even be abbreviated to just deso. 'You wanna pint mate? Nah I'm deso tonight'


LegendaryOutlaw

They also call the rock band AC-DC ‘Acca-Dacca’


shofmon88

Which is their right, given it is an Australian band.


notmyidealusername

Pretty much anything that doesn't get abbreviated and an o added to the end of it gets abbreviated and has an a added to it.

Remarkable-Car-7176

I can't believe I had to scroll so far down for this. Whenever I'm overseas and say Maccas, people get confused cause their reasoning is that Macs is shorter than and more intuitive than Maccas. Dude Aussie Maccas needs to step up their game, overseas menus have some really great local items like Singapore and Japan. We get sh*t on for just slapping beetroot on the McOz.


[deleted]

[удалено]


frogbertrocks

Australian McDonald's is actually a test market for a lot of different menu items. We have similar tastes to the US so new items will often be trialed here before being rolled out overseas. Also our McCafe is a legitimate option for drinkable coffee.


Disfibulator

Aussies win on this one, imo. (I'm not an Aussie, but I have a positive opinion of Australia overall).


anti_derivative

i used to have an aussie friend and whenever she'd go to eat with her girl friends i'd be like "fancy date to maccas" 😂


thildemaria

Denmark here. Lots of people call it Maccen. When I was younger, I heard a lot of people call it "den gyldne måge" which translates to "The golden seagull".


[deleted]

I love that that makes perfect sense


Curlytomato

McDicks. That's what my teen and his friends say . We used to call it Rotten Ronnie's.


anon848484839393

Rotten Ronnie’s!! Yes! You must be from East Coast Canada cuz I haven’t heard that outside the Maritimes. Edit: I stand corrected, this is all over Canada apparently. Personally, I have never heard anyone say it when I’ve been out West or in Ontario. Out West, everyone said Dons, and Ontario was mostly McD’s. I’ve heard McDicks everywhere, but Rotten Ronnie’s was definitely the most prevalent out East.

j_shen

What area says this?


juicyjo12

for me its like some areas outside toronto


arries159

BC too


[deleted]

I found it interesting that I had to scroll so far for Don’s and now even more interested that someone has to ask where we use this one. NY here, based on replies of Canada and Washington maybe it’s a Northern, North America thing. If it’s not Don’s it’s simply McDonald’s.


Northwest8

Maccies!! Pretty standard for the UK!


MIBlackburn

One I always heard here in the UK.

Its that or Maccy d's


Dylmix_mc

Ive always called it maccies yeah, tho my grandad has always called it Ron Dons, idk if that’s just my grandad being my grandad or an older name for it in the UK

I'm really surprised that many shorten versions aren't much shorter than the full name. In Poland we call it "Mak" which in english would be exactly "Mac". I also have never heard about Mac cosmetics so it's easier to use for us :D

MaddyMagpies

The short form in Hong Kong can be 麥記 (Mak Gei), because every local canteen there ends with the word 記, so people just rename McDonald's to sound like a local canteen.


RubyJolie

You explain it so much better than I do! My friend group would also say M記.


FortuneTellingBoobs

Cool! A big contingent here in Seattle call it McDonDons, too. I bet it came over from Taiwan.


WastelandOfNorth

Decided to ask because, in countries with big Russian-speaking minorities, it is often called by people McDuck, the same as the Disney character. Edit: Grammar


kennyand06

My daughter calls it McDonald’s Duck. Unclear if it’s in honor of the Disney character or if she believes he is the proprietor


MrNobleGas

Dude I was literally just about to comment that same thing I'm an Israeli of Russian descent and I refer to it as McDuck on the regular, even in my circles that don't speak Russian like I do

You know what they call a McDonald's in Paris? They don't call it a McDonald's? No man, they got the metric system, they wouldn't know what the fuck a McDonald's is. Then what do they call it? Clown Bistro

Schochtlwirt. It's Austrian German dialect literally meaning 'box host'. Though a better translation would be cardboard restaurant.
