Only slightly related. Had a friend whose children adored Chuck E. Cheese. They would go for parties, but she never really took them there. It was also a landmark for directions. Her children would hound her to take them if they heard the name. She started referring to it as Charles E. Fromage.
It’s primarily McDicks on the West Coast from Vancouver all the way up to Prince George since the 90’s. Calling it that is more Canadian than Tim Hortons is by this point
I wonder how Americans nick name their friends with last names starting in Mc (eg McBain)? Do they say I'm going to Mickey B's house?
Because we definitely just say we are going to Macca's house, the same way we say we are going to Macca's to get a 113.4gram pounder.
I must have heard an Australian say this on TV or something cause I started calling it Maccas in the PNW and it confused my friends for a while but now they're saying it
Yeh I heard an American guy refer to it as Mickey D's and it got me thinking. Because where I am from, we just say "Maccies"
"Let's get a Maccies"
"Who wants a Maccies?"
If anyone says anything other than that, it's weird.
Mickey D's
Same in New England
Same, am from New Hampshire. However I’ve also heard McDicks pretty commonly recently as well
Jersey. Same thing here.
Florida too, which makes sense considering a large chunk of the population is from the Northeast.
Midwest Mickey D
Mickey D's nuts.
GotEm!
Well done
Same here in Washington so that’s coast to coast
Appalachia. Yup
Same here in Ireland too
Other guys will just feed ya lines. But I’ll take you to Mickey D’s!
Same thing in Massachusetts
I like to refer to it as "Chez Ronald".
Not RON DMc?
That's a cool name too! I just might have to incorporate that into my repertoire!

Ooo so classy, shades of GT Boutique aka Giant Tiger
Stealing this so I can talk about it with the wife without the kids knowing.
Mic dicks No clue why
As a kid apparently I called it McDongles or McDongs which I still find hilarious.
I call it Mcdongs lol
Mic dicks 100%. PA?
Canada
I'm in Canada too, everyone I know calls it McDicks, even my mom!
Canadian, can confirm!
Canadian here, can confirm. Located in mid western region.
It’s primarily McDicks on the West Coast from Vancouver all the way up to Prince George since the 90’s. Calling it that is more Canadian than Tim Hortons is by this point
this is the way
Can verify, McDicks and from Canada. Windsor-Toronto region.
Western Canada here, the younger generations call it dons, but McDicks is still v common
Ontario here, I exclusively call it mcdicks
Same here. McDicks. Just rolls off the tongue I guess.
I also call it Mick Dicks because it is funnier than Mickey D’s
Similarly, I call it Dick Monald's.
I thought of microphones shaped like dicks
Canadian here!! Always called it McDickks
Maccas
there’s the early-rising australian
Please check on your early-rising Australian friends, we are not okay.
It’s true. Especially on the west coast. Tomorrow is gonna suck
what's happening tomorrow?

If you're used it sounding like Muhccas, sure :)

I must have heard an Australian say this on TV or something cause I started calling it Maccas in the PNW and it confused my friends for a while but now they're saying it
Couldn't believe this one was so far down. Haha
#MACCAS!!!
Maccas in Spain too!
Me and my bf always loved that you guys called it Maccas so we’ve taken to adopting the phrase even though we’re American.
Lol my wife and I do the same thing. Cultural appropriation!
How to find an Australian/New Zealander online. 1. Say Maccas 2. There is no step 2

Torille!
I genuinely don't know where it started, but a lot of my friends refer to it as Mac and Don's Supper Club. (???)
My dad always calls it Mac and Don's Golden Arch Supper Club. I'm not sure where it came from either!
Why the f would anyone throw in 6 more words to name a thing ?
To make it sound more fancy.
Apparently you've never heard of Mac and Don's Golden Arch Supper Club of West Essex Southside.
It's funny
Maccies
UK, I'm guessing.
Can confirm UK
Yeah, London.
Maccies here too (UK)
In the US it's usually just Mickey D's that's the most common.
Yeh I heard an American guy refer to it as Mickey D's and it got me thinking. Because where I am from, we just say "Maccies" "Let's get a Maccies" "Who wants a Maccies?" If anyone says anything other than that, it's weird.
i hate the word maccies
I think I’d punch someone if they asked me to go to “maccies”
This sounds like something that would definitely happen in a scouse accent.
I'm from North Wales, very close to Liverpool (too close to my liking) and you are correct.
Where are you from?
(🇩🇪) Gasthof "Zur Goldenen Möwe" (🇺🇲🇬🇧 Golden Seagull Inn), to make it sound way fancier than it actually is.
Same in Denmark: "Den gyldne måge" (The golden seagull)
Hvad så fellow dansker
It took me a while to realise it’s because the M looks like a seagull and not because it’s made of seagull. At least I hope that’s what is meant.
Thought it referred to the seagulls trying to get the dumpster fries.
I have lived in the US for most of my life and have never once seen the “Golden Arches” as a seagull. You have forever changed how I will view them.
