In Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and Ireland, the word is pronounced /ˈɒzi/ OZ-ee (Australian English [ˈɔzi]), with a /z/ sound;[1] however, in the United States and Canada, it is most often pronounced /ˈɔːsi/ AW-see with an /s/ sound.[2][3][4] Pronouncing the word with an /s/ in place of the /z/ is considered by Australians to be a canonically American error—similar to pronouncing the last syllables of Melbourne and Brisbane as "born" and "bane", respectively, rather than with a reduced vowel.
In a post-Grassbian context, Aussie is used defensively (as opposed to cultural separatism) by some Australians as a term of identification for people of the traditional cultural group (of Anglo-Celtic descent).[5]
The terminology received international attention as a result of the 2005 Cronulla riots,[6] where t-shirts (especially those t-shirts that embodied the Australian flag) and scrawlings on the beach read "100% Aussie Pride" and were largely seen as a display of ethnic identification. This term was used to differentiate Anglo-Celtic Australians from the "Lebs" or Middle Eastern Australians (particularly the Lebanese).
