New Zealand/Australia relationship

[speedjunkie]

So I'm watching Flight of the Conchords (hilarious btw) and it seems that there is a constant underlying tone that Aussies and Kiwis hate each other. Is this true? LOL

Come to think of it, maybe I should have put this in the lounge haha.

[Mazdabater]

Not really, kiwis just talk stupid.

[Madaz]

F*ck off you Ozzie bastard! You guys have the terrible accent!!!


Nah just kidding about the hate.......but it is true about the terrible accent.

[Mazdabater]

Oh really

This I believe rests my case:

[RICE RACING]

[speedjunkie]

Speedjunkie the trans tasman bantering started years ago so don worry you didnt start it.

[speedjunkie]

LOL good to know, thanks. Glad you guys have fun with it at least haha.

[Mazdabater]

Fuck off, I've never heard an Aussie call an esky a chilly bin. And we say fish n chips normal.

[Madaz]

Ozzies say fish and chips normal hahaha what a joke!

Every english speaking nation has an accent, when an Ozzie says fish an chips he says feesh and cheeps. When an Ozzie says chilly bin he says cheely been, however I will I agree with masterbater on one thing, ozzies do call chilly bins eskys.

[speedjunkie]

You guys are cracking me up lol. I have no idea what a chilly bin is, and I've never had fish and chips, but this is great haha.

[Madaz]

Ice box cooler(usa) = Chilly bin (NZ)= Esky(Au)

[Madaz]

Esky is a brand name. Calling ALL ice box coolers Esky's is like calling all cars Honda's.

[My5ABaby]

So to sum it up,
Australia = British rejects that were sent there because they couldn't function appropriately in society (i.e. criminals).
New Zealand = Sheep fuckers.

Correct?

Esky is a brand name. Calling ALL ice box coolers Esky's is like calling all cars Honda's.
Ugh that annoys me.

[EJayCe996]

Ugh that annoys me.

Tons of americans call all facial tissues kleenex.

[Madaz]

Australia = British rejects that were sent there because they couldn't function appropriately in society (i.e. criminals).= A historic fact.
New Zealand = Sheep fuckers=Ozzie's insult to kiwi's

[My5ABaby]

Tons of americans call all facial tissues kleenex.
It's everywhere.

Coke != all soft drinks.
NOS != nitrous oxide.

:rofl: Sarcasm must not translate... :p


Why do you fuck a sheep on the edge of a cliff?





















So it pushes back.

[Madaz]

Kiwi's are not exempt from the brand name thing either, for example....


Adjustable Wench (USA)= Shifter (Aus) = Crescent (NZ)

[speedjunkie]

Ice box cooler(usa) = Chilly bin (NZ)= Esky(Au)

Refrigerator a.k.a. Fridge? lol

It's everywhere.

Coke != all soft drinks.
NOS != nitrous oxide.

Also, bandaids.

I laugh at the coke thing. It's a soda, or to be specific, the name of the brand. Not Coke or Pop lol.

Kiwi's are not exempt from the brand name thing either, for example....


Adjustable Wench (USA)= Shifter (Aus) = Crescent (NZ)

I call them crescent wrenches too, hardly ever do I call them adjustable wrenches, but it seems like most others here do. I've never called them shifters though LOL.

And this whole time I thought we all spoke the same language LOL. Let's get England in here too and see how crazy it gets LOL.

[Madaz]

I've never called them shifters though LOL.


I've never heard of them being called shifters either until I moved here to Australia.

A colleague recently said "pass me a sheefter" and I was like.....wtf?


Chilly bin = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooler

[Mazdabater]

It's a shifter get over it. And yanks don't even count, they call bonnets "hoods" and boots "trunks". Also have never heard people refer to all soft drinks as coke.

Ooooooh, gotcha. Yeah most people I know just call them coolers.

Yep, hoods and trunks, because that's what they are! Bonnets, boots? Shifters?! Sheesh.

LOL

You've never heard them called cokes because you're not in the US haha. I don't do that because it's ridiculous to me, but its' pretty common here. Either calling everything a Coke, or calling it a Pop. To me it's either a soda or Dr. Pepper or whatever brand it is. I always kid people here that call them cokes or pops.

[EJayCe996]

I never understood the pop terminology. I assume it is in reference to the sound a can makes when opened or maybe the old school pop tops....that's all my reasoning can come up with. Of course either one of those terms expands the number of things of what it could be referring to. Maybe I'll just start calling twist top sodas hissers or something and see if it catches on :lol:

[Madaz]

Here is one that Ozzies and Kiwis DO agree on.




Fanny=Ass(USA) Fanny=Vagina(Australia+NZ)

[Mazdabater]

This is true, but us ozzies are tough, we don't call it a fanny we prefer the term ****.

[Madaz]

Tough? you mean Crass!

For our American friends info "Fanny" is a word used only by sheila's, NOT blokes.



Sheila=Girl Bloke=Guy

[Mazdabater]

I was talking shit then too most Aussies don't swear like that lol
