This marvellous little book of New Zealand slang and colloquialisms is both informative and amusing. It covers everything from slang to amusing synonyms to classic Kiwi sayings.
It's written for a mature audience due to the style of humour and risqué content (you wouldn’t want it to end up at your kids kindy).
Some of our favourites are
Hangry - being so hungry it makes you angry
Neighbournet - Mooching off a neighbour's wireless internet connenction. The neighbournet is slower and dies randomly, but its free.
Lego Hair - A particularly shitty male haircut in which the sides cover the ears and the hair appears to be 'snap on.'
Hyberdating - Someone who ignores all their friends when they are dating someone.
