Brekky: the first and most important meal of the day, Aussies call breakfast 'brekky'.
In Australian slang, breakfast is most commonly “brekkie,” “brekky,” or “breakie.” Any one of these three spellings may be used. This is the most widely used and is heard and understood throughout Australia. Other slang terms used for breakfast might include “googie” for eggs, and “cuppa” for tea or coffee.

One of the most infamous Australian idiosyncrasies is the word for flip flop: the 'thong'.
In some parts of the United Kingdom (namely, the North of England, North and South Wales, Scotland, and some rural and working class areas of Northern Ireland), people traditionally call their midday meal dinner and their evening meal tea (served around 6 pm), whereas elsewhere people would call the midday meal lunch ...
The terminology around eating in the UK is still confusing. For some "lunch" is "dinner" and vice versa. From the Roman times to the Middle Ages everyone ate in the middle of the day, but it was called dinner and was the main meal of the day. Lunch as we know it didn't exist - not even the word.
The evening meal is usually called 'tea', 'dinner' or 'supper'. What is a traditional British Dinner? A typical British meal for dinner is "meat and two veg".
Yet, while fried food has been eaten for centuries, the meal wasn't adopted as 'English' until the 20th century. Its name grew as the meal was increasingly seen as an alternative to decidedly healthier 'Continental' breakfasts of pastries and fruit juices offered to tourists in Britain.
Sometimes called a fry up, a full English is a hearty, hefty breakfast plate served in the UK and Ireland. Full English breakfasts are so popular that they're pretty much offered throughout the day as all-day breakfast.
