Australian slang for a tall bottle of beer — typically a 750ml bottle, larger than a standard stubby (375ml). Tallies are a practical format for home consumption and are common at bottle shops across Australia. The informal, affectionate diminutive form is characteristic of Australian English, which routinely shortens words and adds -ie or -y. Buying a few tallies is a standard move before a backyard gathering.
