It's indeed saucy, good post. I've not heard any of these, source California, middle of the state. :)

It is supposed to be Australian slang. They like to shorten everything.

Aussie here. Rona and iso are definitely in use but I haven't really heard any other Covid/lockdown related slang, at least where I live.

not really related to anything, just wanted to say that I really like the 1984 "Shrimp on the Barbie" commercial with Paul Hogan.

Yeah, that one was a classic! Did you know he was actually a comedian before he was in the Crocodile Dundee movies? He had his own tv show too.

I had a stuffed koala named after him. But if Barbie is barbecue what do you call the doll?

Sanny, iso, and Rona here. I live on the East Coast. Never heard anyone say pozzi for positive, and the only time I ever hear magpie beyond the actual bird is when I get called it for liking shiny things. :)

Pozzi sounds Italian
