Clinton and I thought it would be fun to track all the different lingo we hear here in NZ. When possible, we will also provide explanation or sentences of how its used.
New Zealand Word**US or East Coast Equivalent
Fanny**Vagina
Explanation: Fanny is the derogatory word for Vagina. So it's not cool to ask someone if they have a fanny-pack to lend you...LOL. Instead you should ask for a bum-bag.
Mate**Friend
Keen**Cool,I'm down,
Example: "Are you keen to go for sushi?" "yeah, I'm keen."
Take away**Take Out
Explanation: when you order food and you want to take it out of the restaurant for consumption elsewhere :-)
Squizzy**Quick look
Example: "Let's go into the shop and take a squizzy at the new bikes."
