HERE ARE RHONDA'S 10 COMMON FUNNY NEW ZEALAND LANGUAGE BLUNDERS AND HOW TO AVOID THEM!
- If you are told to bring a plate, be sure it has food on it to share
- If you are angry, remember to say you are "pissed off" not just pissed as in drunk.
- If it's pissing down with rain - bring an umbrella.
- Not the shops looking for the woollies store as I did. Putting your woollies on, it refers to any warm layers.
- If your mate tells you about someone pushing up the daisies, look sad; this is someone who is dead and buried.
- Don't worry about what to do with a box of fluffy ducks. it is just a happy expression and completely bird-free.
- That guy walking down the street wearing tiny shorts that are too tight - that's a NZ fashion called stubbies.
- A sparrow fart is just an early morning sunrise.
- If you hear someone say it's hosing down - they really mean raining very heavily.
- If you were invited to 'grid iron' and it is not very likey in NZ, you would be going to American Football!
