I just saw this on a discussion. I am assuming it's tea and biscuits or what we call cookies. It sounds like something a child would say so why are adults using it? I hate infantalizing words. A place near me just opened called Brekkie Bagels. For the stupid Aussie/British infantilized word for breakfast alone, I won't go.
Tea and bikkie?

I miss the days when people didn’t talk about “poop” and “pee” apart from conversations with children.

"Brekkie" is not an infantilised word in Australia, unless you consider the entire nation infantile, in which case I would point to your current very glassy house.
We shorten or give little tail flourishes to everything, all the time. It's nothing to do with kids. "See you this arvo." "Do you have a tradies' discount?" "Your shout, Stevo." "You can swim if you like but I'd watch the crocs." We call our country "Oz", FFS. We would say "bikkies" too. "Biscuits!" is, in fact, the go-to swear-word in Bluey.
You're right to avoid Brekkie Bagels, with your standards. They've probably got Smashed Avo on them.

They call their sweatpants trekkies, too. I could never, it's why I prefer New Zealand.

R2, so infantilizing then.
You sound overly defensive.

R3, you may offer the chocolate biscuits but I'm not eating anything called a choccy bikkie.

When I was preggers, my doctor told me I couldn't have champers, and instead I eat tea and biccies.

R2, you can share the choccy bikkies with me.
We could do dinner - either go for a parmi or put on a barbie. We could get loose and do a coupla shoeys.
If you wanna stay over but don't have any jammies, you can wear some of my spare trackies.

R5, we do not call sweatpants trekkies. We call them "trackie-daks". (Tracksuit being the correct term for the entire ensemble, and daks being slang for any form of pants.)
