Phonetic 

Words that are spelt how they sound. Ironically phonetic is not spelt phonetically.

Phonetic should be spelt fonetic, but English doesn't always make sense

phonetic shortcut 

Da "lazy man's way" of pronouncing two or more words in a common phrase --- the individual words get corruptedly/messily "run together", rather than being spoken clearly and "separately", the way a "proper" person would say them.

Classic examples of a phonetic shortcut would be "wanna" (want to), "ustuh" (used to), "shouldah" (should have), and "didja" (did you). Disgusting how da young people talk these days!
