Test Writing: Aussie Slang Translator

Created By: Geoffrey Challen

/ Version: 2026.2.0

Australians are famous for shortening just about every word. Create a function 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.
