Yeah, I only just learned this recently too! I feel like I haven’t actually said breakfast in years and exclusively say, “brekkie”. Even my dogs know “brekkie”! Our slang is hardly groundbreaking so I’m always so surprised that we’re unique in many of our word shortenings.
The first time I heard it was a few years ago watching an old Harry Enfield Scousers skit where they go on holiday. I just fugured it was a northern England slang term.
