Usage notes
The term is occasionally used, mostly by non-Australians, to refer to the country of Australia (for example, �back in Aussie�). This usage is very rare amongst Australians, who are more likely to use the term �Oz�. The exception seems to be sporting chants, such as �Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!� and �Come on, Aussie, come on!�, which appear to apply this usage.
