Definition
Nickname for anyone named Pozner or Paul.
Example Sentence
"Pozza's got a new tinnie."
Where "Pozza" Comes From
Covers both the surname Pozner and the first name Paul, both shortened to "Poz" before picking up the classic "-za" ending shared with Bazza and Gazza.
It's a good example of how the "-za" suffix doesn't care whether it's attached to a first name or a surname — the pattern works either way.
How Aussies Actually Use It
A casual, friendly nickname among mates, often heard around the boat ramp or the shed — Pozza's a name that fits right into weekend chat about tinnies and tackle.
It's interchangeable with the rest of the "-za" family in everyday conversation.
