We have quite a number of diminutives in Polish e.g. chlebuś, and it's not exactly the same as "little bread". English is rather poor in diminutives unless you're an Australian. :-D This is what I heard some time ago and it's just come back to me, so I'd like to ask what the most popular diminutives are that come to your mind (not only Australian).
I'll start with:
I had a bikkie and a cuppa for brekkie. (biscuit, coffee/tea?, breakfast)
Chrissie (Christmas)
in the arvo (in the afternoon, more colloq. perhaps)
