Ah HA this does make one giggle, we use the term off to the Loo or the Dunny (toilet ) down under, also a rather uncivilised term when one is pregnant up the duff, or a bun in the oven.

One thing I noticed in America when one did not understand what another was saying they would use the expression 'excuse me" if you used that here it would be to move past someone in your way or to excuse yourself from the table.

killearns Kitties we use all that terminology here, but then we have a lot of British influence in Aotearoa.

Here are some other's used in NZ.

Good as Gold= meaning things are going well.

Rattle your dags= a farming term meaning to hurry yourself along.

Smoko- short break from work for morning or afternoon cup of tea or coffee and maybe a ciggy (no longer allowed in NZ) smokefree now. yahoo!!!!
