So a bit of fluff for a Sunday morning ....but I just learnt (from another thread) that "jandals" are thongs in NZ, chilly bins are Eskys and .....Hairy McClary...? From Donaldsons Dairy....? That's a milk bar not a dairy farm! Who knew? I'm heading to NZ next year for a holiday....any other words I should know...?!

Bro.

I also suggest you watch the entire series of Outrageous Fortunes. Wealth of knowledge.

Judder bars (speed bumps)

Duvet (doona/quilt)

Bach or Crib (holiday home)

Chuddy (chewing gum)

Cheerio (cocktail sausage) - usually given to small children to munch on by the butcher while you're choosing your meat.

A Jersey is a jumper/windcheater

Twink is liquid paper, not that you will need to know that for a holiday.

Wendy's is a hamburger joint, not an ice-cream shop.

Hokey-Pokey is honeycomb, especially in ice cream

[Jenflea]

What? it WASN'T a dairy farm? Well, I learnt something new today!

[Justaduck]

Togs and cheerios are both words used here :/

And be sure to end every sentence with 'ay', ay?

Oh and deny all knowledge of anything rugby. 'World Cup, what World Cup, ay?'
