Slang

I have posted a couple of times about the differences in New Zealand English and American English, but had so far avoided too much discussion on slang as it is in a category all its own. After two years, I am starting to get a grasp of it, so I thought I would share it with you. Next time conversation starts to lag a bit, just throw one of these in, should spice things back up a bit  :)
