/ Version: 2026.2.0

Australians are famous for shortening just about every word. Create a method called toAussieSlang that accepts a String containing an English word and returns the Australian slang equivalent.

Use the following translations:

• "afternoon" → "arvo"
• "breakfast" → "brekkie"
• "barbecue" → "barbie"
• "chicken" → "chook"
• "friend" → "mate"
• "sunglasses" → "sunnies"
• "university" → "uni"
• "sandwich" → "sanga"

If the word is not in the list above, return the original word unchanged.
