No, you have been misinformed. AC/DC is an acronym for alternating current/direct current, the two types of electricity. It’s fitting because they play electric guitars, and are a heavy metal band. Get it? It was quite witty in 1973.
“AC/DC” is pronounced one letter at a time, though the band are colloquially known as “Acca Dacca” in Australia.
Not really, it’s like calling McDonald’s “maccies” (or “maccas” in Australia I think)?
Never say maccies again
Never say “Maccas” again and we’ll call it even.
Yeah, it’s a nickname. We all know it’s “A.C.D.C” but we say Acca Dacca cause that’s what Aussies do.
No it’s not. That’s the nickname they have over there.
Thus making it true …
thats like saying Paul Gascoigne is pronounced " Gazza" in the UK
Yeah, they’re an Australian band, and saying “Acca Dacca” is funny.
TIL AC/DC isn’t Scottish or English (although, in my defense, apparently almost all the members were).
It’s fine, nobody ever think I’m Australian either…😭
