And here are some words I’ve picked up while hanging out with friends in auckland and wellington (I welcome any and all corrections NZ friends. And additions even!)
kia ora –maori for hellochoice -use as an affirmative in suggesting approval like excellent
bro –friend; used as commonly as mate or dude when saying friend in a generic way
sweet as –an affirmative term used like cool or awesome ( and i thought they were saying "sweet ass!"
singe –a negative term used for indicating disdain if it's bad, gross, kind of like the word budge
munter –jock, meathead, retard
munted –to get completely knackered/wasted
(even though munter is derogatory, you can still use munted to refer to yourself and not actually be a munter)
tomato sauce –red condiment they use with hot chips (fries)
psst...we call it ketchup.
business time –time to get busy, popularised by flight of the conchords
business associate –friend with benefits or someone you shag with no strings attached. This was derived from the business time reference and is more like an inside joke between the flatmates of ghunzee st.
(Figure 3.14159265) Their national equivalent to our Dr. Pepper.
Except it's lemony.
So this is utterly retarded of me but I didn’t get until the other day when the lightbulb finally went off, that mince meat is the same as ground beef. Like mince pie. I think I thought mince was the way you seasoned it or something. duh.
