I guarentee that the most common use of the word OZ in the world is to refer to Australia, so I have moved it.

I believe Oz was originally satire aimed at William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic Presidential candidate in 1896, 1900, and 1908, but I see nothing about that here. Am I right on this?

I don't think Oz comes directly from "Oz-tralia" but rather either from "AUS" - the international 3-letter identification code for Australia or from "Aussie" (I don't know which came first), perhaps someone would care to look into this vital matter...
- I'd agree, most of us when saying Australia wouldn't pronounce the first syllable as Oz. I always thought it derived from Aussie.
