How many have you use or heard of before?
Servo (Gas Station)
Bottle-o (Bottle Shop)
Misso (Girlfriend-Think Miss/Mrs)

I actually use arvo and avo all the time. Of course, I have some friends who are Aussie, so that's where I got it from. Personally, I love "arvo". It's so much faster to say or type!

Someday ago, Casey posted a thread (<a href="https://www.italki.com/discussion/203519">https://www.italki.com/discussion/203519</a>;) with an article(<a href="https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/aussies-love-abbreviations">https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/aussies-love-abbreviations</a>;) which was about abbreviation and how commonly they are being used. That's interesting though!
And I never heard of any of the abbr. mentioned by you. You guys are really good at cut-short any word to be more friendly:D
