Kiwi Slang

From ICYMI, 4:00 pm on 15 July 2022

Here in Aotearoa, we have a long list of slang words and phrases.

Slang is usually specific to a certain area, region or country.

In fact, you might not even notice that you are using slang and you may be causing confusion for people from overseas!
