"Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy, Oi Oi Oi" (often "Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi") is a popular Australian sports chant expressing national pride, a call-and-response cheer where one person yells "Aussie!" and the crowd yells back "Oi! Oi! Oi!". It's a variation of the British "Oggy Oggy Oggy, Oi Oi Oi" chant and became famous globally, especially after the 2000 Sydney Olympics, to support Australian athletes.
It is a direct steal from the Oggy Oggy Oggy chant of Royal Navy rugby fans in Great Britain after WW2. A popular variation was the Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy chant by Chelsea fans in homage to their star striker Peter Osgood.
Tin-miners' wives or pasty sellers supposedly shouted "Oggy Oggy Oggy" – the response from any hungry miner or labourer would be Oi!, Oi!, Oi!. The chant is also the chorus of a folk song and has always been heard at Cornish rugby matches so this seem another possible origin.

Luffy's most famous Japanese dialogue is his declaration to become the Pirate King: 「海賊王に俺はなる！」 (Kaizoku-ō ni ore wa naru!), meaning "I will become the Pirate King!". Another key phrase is his self-introduction: 「俺はモンキー・D・ルフィ！海賊王になる男だ！」 (Ore wa Monkey D. Luffy! Kaizoku-ō ni naru otoko da!), which translates to "I'm Monkey D. Luffy! The man who will become the Pirate King!".
The name has English and Old Norse roots, with translations including “God's power,” “God's protection,” and “bear god.” Perhaps the most famous person to bear the name Ozzy is former Black Sabbath frontman turned early reality star, Ozzy Osbourne.

"Oi" has been particularly associated with working class and Cockney speech. It is effectively a local pronunciation of "hoy" (see H-dropping), an older expression. A study of the Cockney dialect in the 1950s found that whether it was being used to call attention or as a challenge depended on its tone and abruptness.
The most Australian thing to say often involves casual abbreviations, laid-back optimism like "She'll be right" or "No worries," and unique slang for everyday items, such as "Arvo" (afternoon) or "Barbie" (barbecue), often delivered with "mate," making phrases like "G'day, mate, chuck us a coldie at the barbie this arvo?" quintessentially Aussie.
