bikkie
noun · casual
A biscuit (what Americans call a cookie).
How Aussies use it
- Grab a bikkie with your cuppa.
- There's a packet of bikkies in the staff room.
Good to know
In Australia a 'biscuit' is sweet and crunchy, not the soft bread roll Americans mean.
Saying it more formally
In a formal email, essay or the PTE test, use biscuit instead.
Slang is great for chatting with friends and workmates, but keep it out of PTE essays and formal writing.
