    Hi All
    Muppet you are right about judderbars but I think the lady at the deli thought I was saying goodbye aswell. Cherios are cocktail franks or little boys like Mel says.

    Hello!

    Aside from the jokes about men in tights…or shorts, or with squeky voices …
    My favourite on how to spot a NZlander is when they say the number 6. It always comes out a little different then they probably intended it too.
    (Yep, I do giggle like a little schoolgirl, but I try not too) [:0)]

    Must run…

    When a problem is created the solution is created simultaneously


    Hi Sooshie,

    I laughed when I heard a story about some graffiti in an NZ town which read: “Australia Sux”

    Underneath someone had replied:”New Zealand nil”

    When I was sweltering in Miami a couple of years ago, I told one of the people at the backpackers that I was just going to go and put some thongs on… copped some very strange looks from the Yanks. [:D]

    LOL richmond, i can see you in it now, … uhh thats scary. Gee muppet i am doing real bad when you are picking up myspelling , next recoveryman will correct me.[:P]

    its funny how we all use words differently. a few years ago a friend of mine was at a very conservative Bible College here in australia, they had a visiting American speaker would was talking about the importance marriage and of showing some physical affection between a married couple in front of the kids. he said it was alright for a husband to pat his wife on the fanny in front of the Kids, he wondered why there were smiles all around the room. (in case you didn’t know in the US a fanny is “backside”).

    Because Fannie Mae and well Fannie Maenot, when i was in the states they called the “bumbag’ i was wearing a’fannie bag’ confused me initialy, made me feel all feminine ‘what.. i’m wearing a what’ Met a Texan who embodied what i percieved a Texan to be.. loud and spoke with a drawl. The only place he knew in Australia was MELBORN. enjoyed my time there though.

    Back To KIWI’s they’d do well on survivor, foods run out.. oh well eat the other contestants. used to work with a few Maori’s on the pearling boats, can’t believe KIWI’s eat Sea Urchins [xx(], used to think the chinese eat a lot of weird stuff, Maori’s more so, they’d even eat the chinese [:0)]

    Hi Guys

    What is a dog’s breakfas?

    Quite simply

    a quick piss and a run around.

    It is a sheep farmer’s saying when he lets his dogs go in the morning ready for a hard day’s work chasing those stupid things called sheep.

    Those new words you added Westan, from what part of NZ do they come from? Haven’t heard them in this part. Perhaps they come from the chilly part of NZ you are moving to.
    I hope you have your dictionary of New Zealanderisms.
