Im a kiwi and there were a couple of words i had never heard of, i wonder if there are certain slang words used in different parts of our tiny NZ. Ps love u guys and this vid :)

Dunny and Drongo are definitely more of a Southern thing, although we know of them up here in Ngā Bush, we definitely have different words for them. .Egg is definitely more popular than Drongo in the Wopwops, and Long Drop or Slammer is far more common than Dunny. I'm pretty sure that's how Dunedin got its name though pahahaha

@makziimus 4 года назад

Well, I've been traveling arround in New Zealand for almost a year. For instance 'far out' was spoken in the Southland region quite a lot. I've learned hungus & chocka in Napier but my friend in Ashburton never heard about those words. So I reckon some words are more regional than others or at least more or less commonly known or used in that particular region!

Hahaha Half Pie is actually Half "Pai" it's a very Māori term from the 70's. .Māori were being Half Pai (Pai means Good), when creating slang back then, other slang such as Makachilli for cold (Makariri meaning cold / chilli being slang for cold), Skura for School (Kura meaning school / S added to combine the two words), and others. .Half Pie makes sense in this day and age though, since we make the best pies in the World "FACTS"...

great video Andrea!! that's so funny, I was thinking this week that it would be great to see a collab in your channel and you picked Rosie that I already love! Thank you for that incredibly funny video!! As a French who only knows UK and US slang, I didn't know most of these words and it was so cool to try to guess with you guys!

@AndreaHeckler 5 лет назад

How many did you guess? 😃

@alfinou_13targaryen 5 лет назад

@@AndreaHeckler I guessed gutted, sparrow's fart (my favourite one !) , dung and wopwops, so my score is 4! I guessed them because she gave a bit of context without it I wouldn't have guessed anything!

"As" used as a suffix and emphasiser after words ie. "Mean as" = very good

@davidhines68 Год назад

Chockablock was used in the US when I was a kid (long, long ago). But I think there's also "chockers" (at least in Australia), which I never heard in the US.

@Bloodyslayer73 3 года назад

Even the same language varies a lot among different countries. I guess I would survive 🥝 English, but no hope with 🦘English.

@kukiskuxdeluxe1 4 года назад

I feel it depends what part of NZ you are from. Also Maori and Pacific islands slag is slightly different E.g., Skux , Nekminnit, hardout, chur, Mint, Bruv, mean as

@Blondesax 5 лет назад

Fun! I'm a little surprised you hadn't heard "slog" before. I'm also in the Midwest, and it's not like, super common, but I've heard it for sure. It's both a noun and a verb. "I really had to slog through the work." "The work was really a slog."

Oh Well ~ Andrea welcome to NZ / Aussie slang. I wonder how many people knew all the slang words that were presented by Rosie? I am Australian and I did not know all the slang words, but I guess I knew 75%. Also some of the NZ slang words are the same in Aussie (Australia) but have different meanings.

@echo7759 3 года назад

yes, when I lived in Australia, i called someone a 'dag' and they said it wasnt very nice. lols

@@echo7759 Oh Yes! Dag is not nice! I assume you know the origin of the slang word Dag?

@echo7759 3 года назад

@@paulhowlett8151 oh yes, it comes from Sheep Dags lols ... Aussies also say 'daggy' which means untidy or uncool. For us it just means funny :) Back in the 70's a comedian called John Clarke had a character called Fred Dagg ... he was very funny. Maybe that is where we got the term. :)

@ngatibroffessor1840 5 лет назад

I've never heard some of the terms used before...added to this on Rosies actual slang video she uses terms the term "Hori" which is a derogotary racial slurs towards Maori people of NZ. She said it means disgusting and rank in her video..maybe she is just ignorant of the word. Using this term will probably get a hostile reaction and result in embarrassment or pain...maybe both.

HOW TO SPEAK NZ: 1) Pronounce the 'ER' sounds at the end of words as 'AH'. Because we're lazy af. 2) Never pronounce the 'R', like... ever. 3) Add 'as' at the end of things as a SPOKEN exclamation point... haha. Eg: Fast as. Slow as. Cool as. Dope as. 5) Add 'aye' at the end of things to have someone agree or disagree with you. Eg: That's cool as, aye? This smells good as, aye? This song is pretty dope, aye? 6) Add 'PRETTY' to the beginning of things, also as a spoken exclamation mark, like 'AS'. Not sure why this is, but it's a thing. Eg: This is pretty cool. This pie is pretty nice. That house is pretty flash (flash means really fancy looking). 7) Use a lot of slang. EG 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 NZ1: Yeeyur. This pie is nice as. NZ2: Gizz a taste. bites pie Oh yeah, hard. My pie is pretty munted. NZ1: Unluggyyyyyy. NZ2: Swapsies bro? NZ1: Yeah, nah. Gap it, g. NZ2: Aw guuuuhmon. here you go

@howonrhee4772 4 года назад

There is the English difference between American English and New Zealand English from the video that you two girls do not recoginse during the chat. In New Zealand, people do not distinguish between tomato ketchup and tomato sauce when they talk about the red thing. However, in America, they distinguish between those clearly. :)
