[Healeys] OZ

[Joe and Lenore Armour]

I dont know which pub those other two experts were at but when 
Australians were at international sporting events the war cry was 
"Aussie,Aussie,Aussie".
Now when you say this quickly with gusto and national pride and 
excitement the rest of the world hears, "Ozy,ozy,ozy". Derived from this 
you have OZ, the place where the OZY comes from. The official journal of 
Australian language, The Macquarie Dictionary, managed and issued by the 
Macquarie University in Sydney ( named after an early Governor of the 
new British Colony) lists OZ as  - 'Australian'
Interestingly anyone can submit their own local or regional made up or 
bastardised version of an existing word and the Macqurie people will 
investigate how widely used the new word is and enter it in the next 
edition of the only true Australian dictionary.
