Aussies aren't hard to understand... sometime what they do is... :D

[ahp]

Somebody, anybody! Is there a similiar lexicon for New Zealand slang?

[John B]

Not sure that we have much ?
Nothing like those fellas over the Tasman anyway( now watch them spit the dummy out of the cot over that statement)

Dummy=pacifier.

What do you call those little sea-side cabins? That's at least one NZ-unique idiom. smile.gif

bach.. pronounced batch. Crib in the south island.
" dying breed" would be another description.

No longer popular?

so popular that they're priced out of reach. land so expensive the batch/ shack just has to be pulled down so a house that fits the price gets built.
