Twisted Kiwi Vocabulary

Kiwilary ( so you’ll understand them beta)

KIWI – “ it’s a bird, it’s fruit, no, it’s a Kiwi”. Kiwi is the acronym for New Zealand which is also their National bird.

PIN - not that small thingy that pricks your finger when you stitch or attach a medal into your toga.        For kiwi this stands for the instrument you use for writing or commonly known as “PEN”. 

CAD – if you are thinking of the computer programme that engineers use for their designs. Cad is actually CARD with a silent “R”.

HAD – oppsss, sorry but you are wrong, this is not the past tense of “Has”. Same as CAD, this is HARD with a silent “R”.

LIFT – this what we commonly call ELEVATOR.

YOU RECKON – this is not Raccoon Kiwi Style. This simply mean “You think so ?”.

SUPA – our super hero is not Superman but SUPAMAN. Get it ?

WRONG WI – doesn’t mean they want Playstation over Wii. This means WRONG WAY.

DICK – not what you think. This is where you want to enjoy a lovely sunny day while preparing the bbq for a nice summer meal. Let’s use it in a sentence, “Dick is enjoying the day on his new Deck.

No disrespect to Visayan speaking Pinoys but you will not adjust so much here as they speak the way you do.
