Kiwi lingo 101

Oh before I go to sleep, I thought I might just have a quick lesson about kiwi's (new zeelanders) and their way of expressing themselves.

1. There is a major difference from kiwi to kiwi. If it is just a kiwi, then it is referred to a person from New Zealand. If it is kiwibird, it's the bird and kiwifruit is the same. You get it?

2. If someone here would refer to you, or anyone else, as a "good bitch" (GB) or ar "good cunt" (GC), do not be offended, it is something positive and means something like being awesome.

3. There are some words they tend to use a lot, like bro, aye and ye, amongst others.

4. Yee boi simply means yes or allright

5. Sweet as simply means that something is good

6. When a word is followed by "as", like wasted as, it enlarges the meaning of the word. So just wasted would mean that a person is drunk, whereas wasted as means that a person is really, really drunk.

7. Is you get a text from a kiwi and it is like trying to solve this cryptic message in an Egyptian Pharao tomb that is thousands of years old, do not be scared, it is just a habit among the kiwis to write so that it is impossible for the reciever to understand. I don't even think the kiwi's understand each other's text's..

Ex: "l0l dats n0t 2 bad ae, gud 2 b hme. w0t b0t u?"

...which really means: "LOL that's not too bad aye, good to be home. what about you?"

Well, this is enough for kiwi lesson numba one!
