Did you know ECT is abbv for Electro Convulsive Therapy? :-)
ecc is same as etc though.
 
butty (plural butties) is English slang for sandwich.

sanger is Australian slang for sandwich.

I like the thinking that pommies might be tomatoes as in the French pomme de
terre, but not so:
To quote from theFreeDictionary:
pom·my or pom·mie (pm)
n. pl. pom·mies Australian & New Zealand Offensive Slang
Used as a disparaging term for a British person, especially a recent

There used to be idea flaoting around that pommie was an acroynym derived

Actually, the English translation of the French pomme de terre is
potato. Tomato in French would be tomate.
