Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
"Aussie" is a friendly (however sometimes used offensively) slang for "Australian". The correct pronunciation is "O-zee", IPA: /ˈɔziː/ and not IPA: /ˈɑsi/. Pronouncing the word with a voiceless "s" in place of the voiced "z" is strongly frowned upon by Australians, and is considered a canonically North American error, along with such errors as pronouncing the last syllables of Melbourne and Brisbane as "born" and "bane," respectively (both are correctly pronounced with a schwa).
In New Zealand and the United Kingdom the term is sometimes used to refer to the country of Australia, as well as Australian persons. In Australia itself the term is only used to refer to its inhabitants.
In Australia the term is used most notably in sporting chants, where it is often expressed with patriotic gusto by Australians. The most widely used chant, is:
Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!
Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!
Aussie! Oi! Aussie! Oi!
Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!
