I call it Chermo or Chermobyl to give it its full name. This "chermy" reeks of either their marketing team or Victorian immigrants.

I grew up within walking distance of Chermy. My mum grew up even closer than I did. Chermy is not at all unfamiliar, but "chermo" sounds like some American who's vaguely familiar with Aussie slang not having the intuition of when to apply it.
