Beloved Australian informal shortening of 'schnitzel' — the crumbed and fried meat cutlet that has become a pub food staple across Australia. A schnitty is practically a national institution: most Aussie pubs offer a classic chicken or veal schnitty, often served with chips and a salad. Ordering a schnitty is a rite of passage at any Australian pub meal. The word perfectly captures Australia's love of shortening words and adding a casual 'y' or 'ie' ending.
I'm absolutely starving after the footy — let's grab a schnitty and a beer at the pub.
