You call it WHAT!?!?

[MonsterMoosMum]

We call them gumboots

Gumboots here too

[Ngaiz]

I'm a kiwi so everyone gets a laugh whenever I speak. I can't even say 'this' or 'fridge' let alone jandals, chilly bin, vivid, hot dog, duvet or twink without someone having a dig

Or fish and chips I love the kiwi accent

I've always called cat/dog biscuits (dry food) 'kibble'. So does everyone in my family but everyone else I know is like what is that?????

DF looks at me like I have two heads when I say kibble.

My brother in law is a Kiwi and calls eskies "chilly bins" and speed bumps are "jutter bars" haha. He hates that Australians say "servo", "bottlo", etc.

And of course a "dairy" is what NZers call a "convenience store".

I get ribbed for my pronunciation of Subaru - soo-BAR-oo vs soob-er-roo.

I'm from NSW originally and we used to call them fruitboxes, not poppers.

DH can't cope with the fact that everyone else calls them milkbars, not Delis. A deli is where you get meat products. Lol. Darn Perthies!

So what do you call your thongs? Flip flops? The other is a g string or if your a little annoying like my DH a g banger lol

Yep - flip flops.

And I always say sofa instead of couch. I hadn't heard 'lounge' until I moved here either. Lounge is the room, not the sofa!
