What are you complaining about? We've already given Aussies a regional pass on the word "veggies"!
Just
don't take it out of the country! Think of Oz as the Amsterdam for all trendy words! What a marketing ploy! Hip young professionals worldwide will flock to Australia just for the opportunity to drop prepositions from their speech, order "veggies" while chillaxing at local coolness cafés, use potties, become preggers and much, much more! You guys will be rolling in tourist money!
Outside of Australian territory, however, such words should be considered every bit as illegal as Schedule II drugs; with punishments for violations ranging from forced memorization of entire Shakespearean plays to restricting offenders' TV viewing to only episodes of Masterpiece Theater for periods of up to one year.
