New Zealand slang and phrases, anyone got any more?
« on: August 30, 2015, 03:09:04 PM »
Anyone want to add to this list:

(My interpretation is in brackets)

Up the boohai chasing pukekohes with a broomstick (I don't know where so and so has gone)

Stacking a crank  (getting into a bad mood)

Throwing a hissy fit (temper tantrum)
