Investopedia explains Swissie
For example, one may hear in a news report that the Swissie was down in today's trading. This is similar to the U.S., where the dollar is referred to as the "greenback", Canada, where the dollar is called a "loonie" and  New Zealand, where the dollar is called a "kiwi".
