“AC/DC” is pronounced one letter at a time, though the band are colloquially known as “Acca Dacca” in Australia.
Not really, it’s like calling McDonald’s “maccies” (or “maccas” in Australia I think)?
That’s correct. But I’m still confused. I’m from a “maccas” country (they actually use the term themselves).
Do other countries call it “maccies”?
Here we call it MacGros (roughly translates as MacFat).
Yeah, no. In Canada it’s maybe referred to as McDee’s, Micky Dee’s, McDonald’s, but nothing similar to Macca’s
Yeah, no.
Was that really necessary?
Yeah, Nah.
In Canadian English “yeah, no”, “yeah, no, yeah”, “no, yeah”, and “yeah, no, for sure” are just sayings (here’s a random reference I found). I just meant “yeah, like you suggest, no, other countries might not use the term”
No, you have been misinformed. AC/DC is an acronym for alternating current/direct current, the two types of electricity. It’s fitting because they play electric guitars, and are a heavy metal band. Get it? It was quite witty in 1973.
Unless you’re over excited about winning a competition, in which case it’s pronounced “ADDC… ADAC… ACCD… AADAC”

They’re pulling our collective legs, right? This has to be a bit
This is the reason I used Ack to mean awesome when I was like 5.
It never caught on and I blame Akai televisions for that.
