The Fascinating Origin of the Word "Postie"

"Postie" is a colloquial or informal term used in the United Kingdom and Australia to refer to a postal worker or mail carrier. It is derived from the word "postman," which was historically used to describe someone who delivered mail on horseback. Over time, the term "postman" became shortened to "postie."

In modern usage, "postie" is often used interchangeably with "mailman" or "mail carrier" to refer to someone who delivers mail or packages to homes and businesses.
