Aussie shorthand for chicken parmigiana — the pub classic of a crumbed chicken breast topped with tomato sauce, ham, and melted cheese. Ordering a parmi at any Australian pub is an institution in itself; debates over whether to call it a 'parmi' or 'parma' are taken with surprising seriousness depending on which state you're in. It's comfort food, footy-night staple, and a benchmark for judging a pub's quality all rolled into one.

We won the grand final, so naturally we went straight to the pub and ordered a round of parmis.

Origin: Clipped form of 'parmigiana', itself from Italian, referring to the style of cooking associated with Parma. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.

For specific readers

Why is this section here?

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
