Curious Kiwi Words Summary

Curious Kiwi Words by Max Cryer

Following on from "Curious Questions", Max Cryer now examines words that New Zealanders use in unique ways and their origins. He takes a look at peculiarly New Zealand words and expressions, as well as some words and usages that New Zealand shares with Australia, other words that have come to have a particular meaning or usage in New Zealand, and some common Maori words. All are explained with Max's characteristic sense of humour. From kumara to hangi, from lolly to long drop, from swannies to wop wops, and from Labour Day to Rogernomics, you will find a definition and an explanation here, with many curious stories and forgotten facts along the way.
