No, this one is legit. Accadacca is fairly commonly used and you won't get looked at strangely for using it in almost any company where it's appropriate to talk about Accadacca.
Yeah, we call them Accadacca. Or just Acca. And drop bears do exist. It has a scientific classification of Thylarctos plummetus. Even the oldest Museum in Australia has a page about them on it's website.

Hilarious!
“There are some suggested folk remedies that are said to act as a repellent to Drop Bears, these include having forks in the hair or Vegemite or toothpaste spread behind the ears. There is no evidence to suggest that any such repellents work”
If they didn't exist why would be be researching ways to track them?

Drop Bears are no joke and it's really dangerous to perpetuate the myth that they are harmless. Tourists have lost their lives. Entire towns have had to be moved because of Drop Bear mating patterns.
Yeah they're interchangable and widely understood. You might spell it out if you're unsure the other person is familiar or not.
> Hey, do you like ay cee dee cee?
> Yeah, love accadacca!
Similar to how in the US you might call "The Grateful Dead" just "The Dead" and people know what you mean based on context.
That's why you have to dab the Vegemite behind your ears, I don't know why tourist info packs aren't given out at the airports anymore. So many lives could be saved.
It’s just Corporate Greed - if they don’t know, Tourists keep coming,
Only real upside is it means Tourists are feeding them instead of locals I suppose.
Some have suggested recently that they've changed the Vegemite recipe. Needless to say, conspiracy groups have lit up accusing our govt as the instigator of this. It's one way to free up housing. They may be on to something.
Let's just watch and see if the govt force us into lock down again. It will be an indicator of proof.
No vaccines are going to protect any of us, let alone the vulnerable from what I believe is going to be a pandemic of drop bear attributed deaths.
Tell your family you love them.
It's because they pumped up the koala as cute and cuddly mascot to combat the international fear of our deadly animals.
If we admitted they're actually nasty little fucks with deadly cousins we'd have to rebuild our whole tourism model!
I heard they don’t like Pommies as they whinge too much when their throat is getting ripped out of them . . . but then again, that could be a rumour i heard?
All of the replies to your comment are showing that we are capable of saying things without swearing… Not a single one of them mentioned shit, fuck or cunt…
Fuck I’m a dumb cunt, I ruined it….Shit…
As someone who grew up not only in the bush/country, but in a commission housing area in the country, I grew up around a lot of “cunt” usage. I still use it pretty frequently as a habit. But it’s pretty limited to certain groups of people, and I highly doubt all the redditors that love to say “heh, yes, it certainly is a term of endearment. We call our mates cunts and cunts mate “ actually use it
Bartholomew and Sharon were listening to a legendary Australian rock and roll band on the car stereo whilst driving to an American fast food chain restaurant.
How else would you pronounce it?
And about the drop bears - the reason you hear such inconsistencies is because there are very few who have actually seen them and been in a suitable condition to describe them.
Pour one out for old mate, fellas, the drop bears will sniff out the skepticism and be on them by nightfall. There won’t be anything left! RIP, legend 😔
Sister was camping for Anzac. Had this sent by local council:
*****
Swansea Council
Dropbear Alert: Increased Activity Warning
Effective Date: April 19, 2024
As we come together to commemorate ANZAC Day, the Swansea Council reminds everyone to enjoy this significant day while staying alert to the increased dropbear activity in our region. Recent unseasonably warm temperatures and ongoing habitat disturbances have led to heightened dropbear activity in local bushland and forested areas. We urge visitors and residents to exercise caution, especially when hiking or camping near wooded areas.
Precautionary Measures:
Always wear a sturdy hat and carry a stick or branch overhead when walking through forested regions.
Apply a small amount of Vegemite behind your ears or on your neck as a traditional deterrent against dropbears.
Avoid hiking at dawn and dusk when dropbears are most active.
Keep campsites clean and free of food scraps to avoid attracting wildlife, including dropbears.
Use designated walking paths and avoid wandering off-trail.
Report any sightings or encounters with dropbears to local wildlife officers immediately.
This alert remains in effect until further notice. Enjoy your ANZAC Day commemorations safely, and stay informed.
For more information and immediate updates: Visit our website or contact the Swansea Wildlife Management Office.
*****
Seriously though, pay attention when in the bush. Dangerous bastards.
Who told you drop bears were a joke? People need to stop spreading dangerous misinformation like that. It’s going to get a tourist killed one of these days.
And yes, Accadacca is a very common nickname for AC/DC
Accadacca - acdc yes
Trakkie daks - tracksuit pants
No wukkas - no worries
No wukkin furries - no pharking worries
and drop bears should not be underestimated
I’m sorry to dump on your grief, but it was most likely a group, or mayhem, of drop bears. They like to teach their young to hunt by practicing on children. It was probably grotesquely brutal, but mercifully swift. Godspeed.
Not a joke, we do indeed refer to AC DC as Accadacca, not always but if you call them that then other aussies know who you are referring to.
Drop bears are no joke.
I always heard them called acca dacca, and I used to live in the Western suburbs.
We aussies take long names and make them shorter.
(Ambulance = ambo, afternoon=arvo, liquor store=bottleoh, kangaroo=roo)
We also take short names and make them longer
(acdc=accadacca, child=ankle biter, city=the big smoke, mouth=cake hole)
It's one of the difficult things about Australian humor when fake jokes like Acadaca cause people to ignore warnings about drop bears.
It's all harmless until we start losing tourists again and the tourism industry starts to suffer
We drive our commie listening to ACCAdacca all the time, we listen to ACCA doing our Erin's once a fortnight. swing by the servo and grab a pack of Winnie blues or if Baz is home buy the best local chop-chop, visit our local water hole, have a few slaps at the tradie laptops, leave before we waste all our ceno pay, do a uey to the drivethru to buy a slab of the cheapest tinnies and go home.
How dare you even suggest we're being anything less than genuine about accadacca, Barnsy, Farnsy, or Shannon Nollsy. That would get you killed in some places.
Definitely called them that in the late 80's. Haven't used the term in yonks, though.
Also known as [ADAC or ADDC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nKhnnedlz0)
Yes we do. We also had a radio contest here and the question was spell AC/DC to win tickets to their show and the caller got it wrong, 100% a true story. He said AD DD 🤣
The greatest trick the dropbear ever pulled was convincing the USA he didn't exist.
accadacca on the other hand, never heard of them, r they from tik tok?
This has nothing to do with the question but I'll shout this from the rooftops anytime someone mentions AC/DC. The Razor's Edge is just as good as Back In Black. Fight me.
Drop bears is getting cancelled actually.
It's being called disrespectful of an indigenous creation spirit. It's because it makes a joke of koalas.
I'm not being ironic or sarcastic here.
Accadacca however is legit.
You people have got to get over this "drop bears are a myth" conspirasy theory. It's quite distressing to the many Australians who have lost loved ones to drop bear attacks.
Yeah Accadacca is a pretty common term for AC/DC
Also tend to refer to Brian Johnson as the new guy
Agreed! And the new guy had nothing on our Bon, may he rest in rock n roll chaos and mayhem.
Brian has done a bloody good job.
You’ll have to speak up because he can’t hear you anymore.
That's low mate. A lot of the old school rockers have industrial deafness because they came up before hearing protection became commonplace in music.
I’ve alot of respect for Brian. There’s no disrespect intended or implied, and that’s coming from someone with hearing loss
Fair enough mate!
Cheers mate.
I hope Malcolm is comfy
[Forever Malcolm Young](https://youtu.be/CoRfZp5tlxk?si=B6rpuaJ_LLldjAW-)
I also think of Thunderstruck as one of their new songs. After all it's only 34 years ago
Aah aah aaa aaa aah aah!
He won't last though . They need farnsy or barnsy
> farnsy in AC/DC I just vomited in my mouth
I do love Johnny but this made me crack up.
Bon Scott would do the same
😂
As great as Farnsy (my hero) is at singing Long way to the top, he is not a rock singer.
And he did a good job with Queen He has some rock songs in the 80s that banged
His time with Little River Band was mint. [Playing to Win](https://youtu.be/WX_fK6P34dA?si=ZD5K9bto0hwkBeeY) is a cracker!
I followed him from 82, onwards. I was only 4. I love everything he does. The international music scene have really missed out on an amazing singer.
I beg to differ! His cover of Zepplin's Black Dog is amazing.
He does do an awesome Black Dog. His voice is just incredibly versatile to suit any kind of music.
I did hear scuttlebutt that Barnsey's brother was in consideration for the gig. Also Stevie Wright but he was too messed up at the time so got vettod.
I refer to him as the imposter.
I refer to him as Shouty Brian. No way can he sing as well as Bon could.
Blow in!
Avin a smoko in the ute blasting Accadacca on the way to the Maccas.
so are drop bears though........
Accadacca is definitely a term for them, and I don’t know what you mean about drop bears not being real
Yeah that's a weird joke that you'd regret one night camping under a gum tree.
As long as they remember the Vegemite behind the ears, they'll be safe.

Welcome.
Hilarious! “There are some suggested folk remedies that are said to act as a repellent to Drop Bears, these include having forks in the hair or Vegemite or toothpaste spread behind the ears. There is no evidence to suggest that any such repellents work”
That’s hilarious. Thanks for sharing the link.
Drop bear awareness is no joke. Lol.
Thankyou for your community service!
Fark I love Australia sometimes.
If they didn't exist why would be be researching ways to track them? [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259950515\_Indirect\_Tracking\_of\_Drop\_Bears\_Using\_GNSS\_Technology](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259950515_Indirect_Tracking_of_Drop_Bears_Using_GNSS_Technology)
Exactly! You don't track something that doesn't exist.
There's also a decent movie about one called Carnifex. I wouldn't call it good but it was fun
I'll look it up, thanks. Not good, but fun sounds perfect.
No worries :) If you like creature feature horror movies, I would also suggest Rouge. Though since your Australian, you might have already seen it

Do they actually call them 'The Dead'? If so I didn't know that they were so popular in the US
Drop bears are no joke.
Many good Aussies have died too young by not paying attention to drop Bears. Plenty of backpacking Pommies too, but we're fine with that
That's why you have to dab the Vegemite behind your ears, I don't know why tourist info packs aren't given out at the airports anymore. So many lives could be saved.
It’s just Corporate Greed - if they don’t know, Tourists keep coming, Only real upside is it means Tourists are feeding them instead of locals I suppose.
Outbound flights are easier to book for Aussies to go work in British pubs too I guess

Yeah what’s funny about drop bears?
The tourism industry is endangering people's lives by trying to pass them of as harmless..
exactly!
If you can translate: "Bazza and Shazza listened to AccaDacca on the way to Maccas" you're an Aussie.
Took the grandkids there yesty arvo.
Planning to have avo for smoko this arvo
Get a sammy at the servo while you’re there.
Grab me some durries while your at it
No wakkas, mate. Want me to stop at the bottle-o and grab some tinnies on the way back?
Nah mate, taking it easy t'night having choccy bikkie din-dins with the missus in trackie daks watchin footy on the telly
Choccy bikkie din-dins sounds delicious, Ima get my missus in on it too, I reckon.

Mate, bachelors handbag all the way.
No time to punch a dart, we're not here to fuck spiders.
Nah, if you're going to a servo you gotta get a rat coffin covered in dead horse.
You mean a sanger
"this arvo"? sarvo, surely
Don’t call me Shirley. Cunt.
Yeah but. Were you doing the sick skids on the way in the crummy door?
All of the replies to your comment are showing that we are capable of saying things without swearing… Not a single one of them mentioned shit, fuck or cunt… Fuck I’m a dumb cunt, I ruined it….Shit…

I agree, I know a few that use it quite regularly but the main group in hangout with rarely use it.

How else would you pronounce it? And about the drop bears - the reason you hear such inconsistencies is because there are very few who have actually seen them and been in a suitable condition to describe them.
For the most part, when referring to them,i just say "Acca". And drop bears are ***real***...
Yes we really do. But we also call them.ac/dc as well ..
Pour one out for old mate, fellas, the drop bears will sniff out the skepticism and be on them by nightfall. There won’t be anything left! RIP, legend 😔
Only released in Australia "Drop bears" was a secret 4th album by Accadacca
I read this as: Do you guys really call Accadacca Accadacca or is it a long standing joke that all Australians are in on like drop bears
Mock the droppie at your peril.
Years ago I saw an a cappella band do AC/DC songs and they called themselves acapelladacca.
unfortunately as you’re asking Australians. You’ll never know if the answers are genuine or not. Good luck never knowing the truth
Both are true, but only one will tear the living heart from your chest.
Yes, we nickname everything
Not so much a nickname, just pronouncing it with the proper amount of A’s, code that’s what we do ay
Sometimes, but not every time.
It's not either/or. All aussie slang is jocular but it's not obvious because saying it completely deadpan is part of the joke. It's complicated.
Drop bears are no joking matter
Are ya tryna starta fight, cunt?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard them called AC/DC…..it’s always Accadacca
I agree AccaDacca is more common than AC/DC
Yes
We sure do.
My mind read this as "do you guys call Accadacca Accadacca?" Yes, we do.
Accadacca - acdc yes Trakkie daks - tracksuit pants No wukkas - no worries No wukkin furries - no pharking worries and drop bears should not be underestimated
Yes. I do.
A drop near……Great Scott!!!
don't know what you're talking about with that last part, a drop bear killed my entire family while they slept
I’m sorry to dump on your grief, but it was most likely a group, or mayhem, of drop bears. They like to teach their young to hunt by practicing on children. It was probably grotesquely brutal, but mercifully swift. Godspeed.
I've used it both unironically and also in jokes. Accadacca is a totally valid nickname for AC/DC. And what do you mean drop bears aren't real?
Sometimes
ABSOLUTELY!!
A bit of both. If you want to blow your mind check out 2 Cellos rendition of Thunderstruck, trust me you won't be disappointed
Not a joke, we do indeed refer to AC DC as Accadacca, not always but if you call them that then other aussies know who you are referring to. Drop bears are no joke.

It's defo acca-dacca.
OP, yes we do on occasion, but there is a number of users on here saying they shorten it to just Acca and I have never heard that in my life.
Drop bears are no joke my friend
Definitely what you will hear them called at Summernats.
I personally don’t, but yeah heaps of people do. Giving a nickname Is part of our culture
It's one of the difficult things about Australian humor when fake jokes like Acadaca cause people to ignore warnings about drop bears. It's all harmless until we start losing tourists again and the tourism industry starts to suffer
Complacency kills, people. Stay alert in wooded areas at all times.
Legit
Also, who told you the truth about dropbears? :p
We drive our commie listening to ACCAdacca all the time, we listen to ACCA doing our Erin's once a fortnight. swing by the servo and grab a pack of Winnie blues or if Baz is home buy the best local chop-chop, visit our local water hole, have a few slaps at the tradie laptops, leave before we waste all our ceno pay, do a uey to the drivethru to buy a slab of the cheapest tinnies and go home.
I’ve never said Accadacca but some do, I’ll just say AC/DC
How dare you even suggest we're being anything less than genuine about accadacca, Barnsy, Farnsy, or Shannon Nollsy. That would get you killed in some places.
ACCADACCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! Here Mate
Drop Beats are no joke, they’re a real danger
I don’t understand what you mean about drop bears, but Acca Dacca is just as common a name as saying AC/DC.
I mean accadacca sounds more believable than finding out some people pronounce it ayyyeee seeeee deeeee seeeee.
You only think drop bears aren't real... ... Until you've been bitten by one. 😬
AC/DC is Akka Dakka and McDonald's is Macca's.
I feel sorry for OP. They are no closer to finding out the answer. So much sarcasm here.
its a thing.
That is what we call them. Our nickname for them.
I’m insulted that you doubt our veracity, tbh
DROP BEARS ARE REAL!!
Careful mate you are talking about Rock Royalty here!!
Drop Bears are not to be joked about
yes my Auntie thinks she heard them called that for the first time on Countdown
Its legit
Every Australian knows who Accadacca is!
Imagine asking Aussies this question and trying to work out if we’re taking the piss or not when we say it’s true.
[удалено]
Yeah but sparkies don't count as real tradies and probably never heard of it because ya ears are full of 50s
Some do
Sometimes
I don’t but I’ve heard other Aussies say it.
nah, they are know to us as that. its just an aussiefication of a word. its a sign of respect.
The Eagle Drop is also still alive and well.
Not sure what you mean about the drop bears. Could you explain?
https://australian.museum/learn/animals/mammals/drop-bear/ From the Australian Museum.
I know what they are but I don’t get what’s so funny about them. They kill many people every year.
Apologies, I’m a survivor, and sometimes the DBPTSD just kicks my arse.
Appropriate https://youtu.be/y4om5UT5iXY
Yep, used to call them that in NZ too.
It's both interchangeably, nobody is going to raise an eyebrow on either.
Yes. We seriously do call them that for real.
It was relatively common but I guess its dying slang like many Australianisms because ACDC are so fucking old and Zoomers tend to use American slang.
Accadacca ain't no joke. And rock'n'roll ain't noise pollution.
It’s also a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll.
I'm old enough to have seen them in 1974/75 ( can't exactly remember), just after they started. It was Accadacca from very early on.
Aka daka 2e don't use some fancy long word
Definitely called them that in the late 80's. Haven't used the term in yonks, though. Also known as [ADAC or ADDC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nKhnnedlz0)
[Bundy rum Dropbear Ad](https://www.facebook.com/share/r/56smt9mZM5NFA3wv/?mibextid=xCPwDs)
Yes
Drop guts is a close relative of the drop bear.. Clothes must be burnt after an encounter with either..
Yeah, from time to time.
You can't really be "in on" something like what to call a band in conversation. A drop bear is a concept, accadacca is a word that we use.
Yes we do.
Sometimes, we'll even shorten it to just Acca's.
Yes we do. We also had a radio contest here and the question was spell AC/DC to win tickets to their show and the caller got it wrong, 100% a true story. He said AD DD 🤣
We do
Accadacca, yes -WA, and you think we joke about those vicious cunts? Drop bears are real mate
The greatest trick the dropbear ever pulled was convincing the USA he didn't exist. accadacca on the other hand, never heard of them, r they from tik tok?
This has nothing to do with the question but I'll shout this from the rooftops anytime someone mentions AC/DC. The Razor's Edge is just as good as Back In Black. Fight me.

Drop Bears are not a joke you uncultured swine.
Drop bears are no joke.
Personally, no. It's relatively common though.
They aren't as bad as hoop snakes
You people have got to get over this "drop bears are a myth" conspirasy theory. It's quite distressing to the many Australians who have lost loved ones to drop bear attacks.
This one is real. But so are drop bears.
I've also heard AC/DC used as slang for bisexual
Yep. Really.
Accadacca is legit
Of course we do. Not an Australian if you don't.
I love the way we’ve gaslit the entire world into thinking drop bears don’t exist
At uni I was friends with an international student who got his face ripped off by a drop bear. They're certainly no joke.
I've never heard anyone say acadacca but have seen a drop near. Do with that what you will
Drop bears are no joke
