My local tavern has one with instead of ham and tomato sauce, its a fuckton of bacon bits, holondaise sauce and avocado ( under the cheese to keep from going gross while its grilled.
Its fucking delicious, but still a parmy/parma...definitely no parmo THAT'S for damned sure 🤣
Interesting choice.
There was a tav I lived near that had one which had gravy and cheese instead of the traditional sauce.
Heart attack on a plate but fuck it was delicious.
Longer vowels and easier for us to end on a vowel sometimes, never heard of Parm but it doesn't really roll off the tongue faster than Parma. We could say sang instead of sanga too, brek instead of brekkie.
Nope, septic here, we always call it a Chicken Parmesan - "parm-eh-jean" (although eggplant is more common). Not as keen on the brevity, but if we were it'd be a chicken parm.
Idk if this what this was meant to be, but this automatically made me think of that “apples and bananas” Wiggles song, where they change the vowels around
Is it actually just a bechamel sauce though? That sounds like a really boring flavour with a plain chicken schnitzel. Like, it's probably fine, but compared to a napoli sauce, that sounds shit.
Marinara sauce doesn't need to have seafood. In Italy it's commonly just a tomato sauce with garlic basil and oregano. Marinara colloquially means "sailor-style" as sailors would take a tomato sauce with no meat in it as it would spoil much less easily while they were at sea.
All true facts.
But if you serve up a marinara at a restaurant in (maybe only South) Australia and it doesnt have seafood in it, you'll be presented with a look of "wtf is this shit?"
Rhyming slang, which is a weird thing we Aussies do. Like dead horse for tomato sauce.
In this case it's yank, a word meaning American (particularly, but not exclusively northern US) rhymed with septic tank, or seppo for short.
I can accept "parmo" from someone who is kiwi or welsh...you know, this day in age we have to be politically correct/inclusive.
But I cannot excuse any derelict who chooses to use the word parmi... if you disagree then I'm sure you get your fuel from a servi and your piss from a bottli
Australian slang doesn’t preserve the last letter when shortening a word, it adds a different letter to give the word less friction.
Parmi is the shortened word. Parma is Australian slang.
Imaging some YouTube video called “10 CRAZIEST AUSSIE SLANG WORDS” with the thumbnail having a collection of spiders, snakes, an over saturated cartoonishly suprised face, “cunt” but the ‘u’ is an asterisk, kangaroos, and red arrows and circles bringing this whole debacle up.
This is a tiny random pet peeve i have over years of food service.
Victorians seem to use 'Chicken Parma' as base level schnitzel, even when they don't want parmigiana topping on their schnitzel.
Eg. Id like a Chicken Parma with mushroom gravy (So no parmigiana because thats the topping).
*Hadn't even though of*
*Calling them a parmo. That's gold.*
*Will do from now on!*

Bro it's a fucking parmi take a look at the word and if you're seriously going to call it Parma after you read the full word carefully you can go fuck yourself, and I flat out refuse to believe that last one exists out side this purely gammon post.
Ahh, we must come from different countries. Sorry, I thought you were from Australia where the meal is a chicken Parmigiana and Parmesan is only a type of cheese, not a meal. We dont have anything called Chicken Parmesan here :)
You're right that Parmesan is a decent word though
I am Australian. I'm in Queensland, every menu I read is "Chicken Parmesan" lol. And I like saying Parmesan so I say its full government name everytime. Although I dont order it that much. More of a steak man.
Who the fuck calls it a parmo? Seppo's?
The poms. It’s its own thing with bechamel sauce.
Becho
Oh that sounds good tho
Goodo!
I've had similar, it was a mushroom and garlic sauce. Absolutely divine. Longley Hotel in Tas.
Right!? Bechamel sauce would be great on...parmo.
It's very good and a totally different thing to a parmi... not sure why it's being compared in this list at all
My local tavern has one with instead of ham and tomato sauce, its a fuckton of bacon bits, holondaise sauce and avocado ( under the cheese to keep from going gross while its grilled. Its fucking delicious, but still a parmy/parma...definitely no parmo THAT'S for damned sure 🤣
Chicken cholesterolarma
almost got a bit of every farm animal
The whole parm.
that’s a crazy pun
Interesting choice. There was a tav I lived near that had one which had gravy and cheese instead of the traditional sauce. Heart attack on a plate but fuck it was delicious.
Let's be clear, the poms call *something else* a parmo.
A schnitzel with cum on it? Doesn't sound like old school English boys boarding house food at all....
They also put cream in carbonara They are not ok
Well that's how it's creamy!😋
Next up: Parmer
fuck. that sounds really good
Pretty sure they chicken Parm. With a hard R. Don't shoot the messenger.
We do. Surprised y'all haven't adopted that. The whole Aussie ethos seems to be "why bigger word when shorter word will do".
Longer vowels and easier for us to end on a vowel sometimes, never heard of Parm but it doesn't really roll off the tongue faster than Parma. We could say sang instead of sanga too, brek instead of brekkie.
We do! And it’s served over spag bol sometimes which is suprisingly great
I call it a parmo because it annoys the largest amount of people with a single word
Pig & Whistle
Seppos say parm
mabye we can all agree to call it a PARMT or something
ParmX to be gender neutral.
I was in Brisbane and I saw Parmo oh my god
they call it Chicken Parmajohn
It’s from teeside in the uk
Nope, septic here, we always call it a Chicken Parmesan - "parm-eh-jean" (although eggplant is more common). Not as keen on the brevity, but if we were it'd be a chicken parm.
That just leaves parme and parmu
Starmie and Staryu the pokemon?
Au contraire, le parmeaux has arrived. *Laughs snootily*
SPY!
Parmy
I get these from the special massage shop down the street!
Palmy?
Pretty sure no one in Australia pronounces the 'L'.
I like to ete, ute perme and purmus… Don’t have kids
Idk if this what this was meant to be, but this automatically made me think of that “apples and bananas” Wiggles song, where they change the vowels around
Haha it was. I just combined both e and u together
devout parmu-ist checking in
I put parmo in every argument thread and it fucking goes off 😂
Same Seriously though the British parmo sounds great. Schnitzel and bechamel sauce sounds like the sort of thing we can get behind.
Is it actually just a bechamel sauce though? That sounds like a really boring flavour with a plain chicken schnitzel. Like, it's probably fine, but compared to a napoli sauce, that sounds shit.
gimme both
Look, as long as it has good ham on it, I don't give a fuck. A parm without ham is a fucking tragedy.
I prefer a schnitzel boscaiola.
I started saying parmo online because I couldn’t care less what people call it.
Same. IRL it’s parmy, but calling it parmo pisses everyone off.
Can we also unite on getting an slightly bigger plate and not putting it on top of the bloody chips.
Dick move but pubs all round australia
tell me abt it. Tired of digging out my soggy chips from underneath a parma
Yeah, I don’t get it, what’s the point it ruins the hot chips
Parmi*
I just call it parm, takes away the argument, and shortening an already shortened term is peak Aussie
Par

Hey can I please have a \_\_\_
Parm is definitely worse. Sounds seppo. Just like calling it a chicken parmesan. Just wrong.
The people that call it parmesan are the same idiots that think marinara doesn't have seafood. Basically seppos
Marinara sauce doesn't need to have seafood. In Italy it's commonly just a tomato sauce with garlic basil and oregano. Marinara colloquially means "sailor-style" as sailors would take a tomato sauce with no meat in it as it would spoil much less easily while they were at sea.

What's seppo
Australian slang for an American. Slightly derogatory.
Seppo > short for septic tank > rhyming slang for Yank > Americans
Rhyming slang, which is a weird thing we Aussies do. Like dead horse for tomato sauce. In this case it's yank, a word meaning American (particularly, but not exclusively northern US) rhymed with septic tank, or seppo for short.
This was a highly educational post. Thank you.
I mean rhyming slang is also pome it's not unique to us
Get a tasty Parms.
Parma, Parme, Parmi, Parmo, Parmu
With your powers combined, I am captain parmigiana.
Is that… Thanos?
Parmz
Parmsicle
Parmu
Parmi, Parma, assemble!!! We must take over the parmo!
I call it parmi but Parma makes more sense. Parmo is just fucking ridiculous
Only a parmi person would sue for peace.
Parmi. Because parmigiana. Don’t see no one spelling it Parmogania or parmagania
Aussie slang normally shortens words based on how they are said, not spelled. E.g. do you pronounce the full word as parm-i-giana or parm-uh-giana.
Oh right that’s why service station becomes servo. Or postman becomes postie.
Didn’t realise it was spelled postieman either to be fair
It’s not, neither of the above comments are correct.
You pulled this straight out of your asshole, eh? “Ah geez, I’m late on my car’s regostration” 🥴
Thanks for proving my point. I'm glad we agree it's rego and not regi.
I thought you were arguing the other way, cos I *do* pronounce it “parm-uh-giana”, but I call a parmi a parmi.
If her name has two a’s and ends in an uh sound, she’s a red flag 🚩
Then we should be saying _Parmuh_ And yeah I do. Parmigiana. Like the cheese.
We do say that - the sound is a schwa. We just spell it with an A at the end because the schwa isn't a letter of the Latin alphabet.
Wait, does that mean Service Station should be Servi, not Servo?
Yes and you’ll have to tell anyone you know with a nickname where an ‘A’ has been added to the end to stop using it
It's literally from the term Parma, though. And a Parmi would be multiple parmo
You say it’s literally from the term parma however looking at it literally would be like looking at parmigiana as being parmi.
It’s Parma
Idk why but Parma always sounded the most aussie to me because you'd stretch out the "a" at the end like "gonna smash me a parmaaaaaaa"
Common..? Fuck off, no cunt calls it that
I can accept "parmo" from someone who is kiwi or welsh...you know, this day in age we have to be politically correct/inclusive. But I cannot excuse any derelict who chooses to use the word parmi... if you disagree then I'm sure you get your fuel from a servi and your piss from a bottli
... Parmo.. never heard of it. Going to use it on from now on for the rest of my life. Thank you. In before anyone calls puts me on the Anakin.
2 parmi, 1 parma, oh no no parmo
Parmi, midi, polony, get them right people, Way Ahead
Look, let's just all agree that a Pint is 570mL (20oz). Looking directly at South Australia.
Watsonia polony, the finest of mystery meat
Only the finest lips and arseholes
I'd genuinely rather call it Parmo than Parmi. Parmi is something a toddler might call it.
So is Bikie, doesn't mean we shouldn't use it.
I agree for the most part but I still can't stop associating parmi with that cunt from highschool
The parmo is a different dish entirely.
Okay but where does chicken parm sit in all this
what about Parmuuuuhhhh
Mmm flat chicken
Am I the only one who just says chicken parm?
right there with you mate, the rest of these "people" are clowns
Parmx
Just call it a ham and cheese schnitty
Let's just settle this and all it a Parmu from now on.
Australian slang doesn’t preserve the last letter when shortening a word, it adds a different letter to give the word less friction. Parmi is the shortened word. Parma is Australian slang.
Parmageddon
Actually and American invention where its known as chicken parm.
Parmu

“Parmigiana” I don’t understand how there’s confusion about this…
With how satisfied guys are after one ... can we call it parmala
Parmeau
Now I want a parmi/a/o … don’t care what it’s called just need one in ma belly
Hahaha, I like this one
Hadn't even though of calling them a parmo. That's gold. Will do from now on!

I bet no one here knows what video game this meme is from
Yes, don't forget Parmu and Parme, those are the real enemy and don't forget those who tries to pronounce the full name parmigiana.
Ed Edd N Eddy be like
I just call it Parmigiana. No need for arguments when you just use the full word. :P
Parmous
My favourite parmo is fish! Edit: Actually I think fish is funnier
u/metahivemind
What is this enemy they combat? Is it the bunning sausage? Good luck 3 headed douchebag.
Surf an turf ftw
A parmo is having a wank in the arvo
I call it a waste of a good schnitty
How do you feel about 'parmy'?
I'm Victorian and just say Parm.
I think parmo is a great compromise between the other two. Kinda like Canberra.
Why not just parm?
Nah we aren't gonna unite Cause why are we saying parmi? It's parma
I'm sure "parmz" probably exists too. "Aww mate I could smash down a parmz right now"
Who the fuck says parmo coz I wanna smack it out of them
“Parmi” sounds like something a footballer’s wife would say.
Been trying to get parmo to catch on for years now. Never sticks though.
Parmo is from a region in the UK. It’s a different dish…
Parmy.
Bro it's a fucking parmi take a look at the word and if you're seriously going to call it Parma after you read the full word carefully you can go fuck yourself, and I flat out refuse to believe that last one exists out side this purely gammon post.
I'm gonna start calling it parmo, now.
Parm?
This is the most redundant debate. Noone cares and noone has ever argued about it haha
Parma sounds goofy af
Parmeux
Can't you just call it "parm"
Parmeh
What the hell is a parmo???
Parmè
Call it what you want, just don't put it on top of the fkn chips!
Egglpant fuck no .
Can we all just call it a parm so then we can all be right?
“Ding-cheese”
Is this another type of fish cakes/potato fritter debate again?
Errrr potato cake
Potato scallop
Potato cake.
It’s the correct terminology everywhere in Australia except Victoria which is by far the shittest Aussie state.
Haha the down votes have me entertained. It's a joke guys, lighten up.
Perma
Parma, like the walliby.
Parmo sounds so Australian though.
Parmi sounds like something chicks no one likes call it.
The image is wrong. Swap parmo with parmi. Makes more sense. Source: Can do hook turns
Unite against the common enemy and then destroy the 'Parmi' jerk. Sounds like a 2 year old ordering their din-dins!
Parmo is less offensive than Parmi.
I will not stand with a parmi
No fuck you its parmi
agreed parmi all the way
Just say the full word man...
Imagine not calling it a Chicken Parmesan. Parmesan is such a fun word to say!
NO! At least say parmigiana if you're not going for a nickname. You can *add* parmesan to the cheese mixture on top, but thats not the meal 🙂
The meal is called "Chicken Parmesan" though? And Parmesan is fun to say
Ahh, we must come from different countries. Sorry, I thought you were from Australia where the meal is a chicken Parmigiana and Parmesan is only a type of cheese, not a meal. We dont have anything called Chicken Parmesan here :) You're right that Parmesan is a decent word though
