| Nov 8, 2016 at 13:36 | comment | added | user66974 | @Hot Licks - that's probably the case as suggested below, but evidence points in favor of an Australianism ... maybe you can provide some contrarian evidence. | |

| Nov 8, 2016 at 13:33 | comment | added | Hot Licks | I seriously doubt that you can pin this down. The term was likely independently "invented" by dozens of people across the English-speaking world. | |

AuE just happens to employ the -ie suffix for hypocoristic purposes with particular frequency. Some -ie diminutives are definitely non-Aussie; movie, for example is AmE in origin. | |
