Must remember to resist shortening words while I’m over here. Entered a cafe and enquired about their “breakey,” and the person behind the counter looked at me blankly. Eventually it became clear I wanted to know about their breakfast. 😄

@JohnPhilpin That’s what I thought too. And yet… 🤷

@lmika 🔗 OED - BUT spelt ‘Brekkie’ - not ‘Breaky’ - still - been around since 1904 (in the writing of Edith Nesbit) ,,, and as this was a conversation - how would they know how you were spelling it?
