What is a Parma?

Parma is slang for a chicken parmigiana.

A parma is a classic pub meal that is often served with chips and salad.

Parma sounds like "par-mah". It rhymes with "drama".

It is commonly used in informal Australian speech within Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania.

In Sydney, the term "parmi" is more commonly used than "parma", however, saying "parmi" in Melbourne will get you funny looks.

Usage Examples:

  • "Anyone want to go to the pub for parmas tonight?"
  • "This is the best parma I've had!"
  • "A parmi? What are you on about? It's a parma."
