Coined initially by early Maori to describe European settlers, which has stuck to this day.

An integral part of any summer holiday, sporting event or student gathering, used to keep your beer cool as well as a top seat to sit on.

A phrase unique to New Zealand referring to what we Aussies like to call thongs… and no, I don't mean the underwear – the footwear!

A holiday home at the beach. Usually small and a bit shabby but it's likely no one will mind you traipsing some sand inside.

Used when something goes wrong. It's mostly heard on a farm. It's basically a NZ curse word.

A situation or someone that look or acts suspicious.
