    “AC/DC” is pronounced one letter at a time, though the band are colloquially known as “Acca Dacca” in Australia.

    Not really, it’s like calling McDonald’s “maccies” (or “maccas” in Australia I think)?

    No, you have been misinformed. AC/DC is an acronym for alternating current/direct current, the two types of electricity. It’s fitting because they play electric guitars, and are a heavy metal band. Get it? It was quite witty in 1973.
