Micky-doolan

Still unsure of what a Micky-doolan is.
I thought it was a sly hit - ie: getting punched when you weren't ready for it.

I used to work at the cafe/bar in Christchurch airport. A scottish mate came over and hung out with my buddies for about 6 months and worked with me. He thought Pow pow (bro town pow pow) was just a saying my buddies made up. Anyway, 3 good looking girls walk into the bar (pretty quiet bar and we were both at the tills), he says pow pow loud enough that everyone heard. I hit the ground and hide behind the counter cos im so embarrassed and he had no idea why everyone was laughing at him.
good times.

I find it quite weird that South Islanders call what North Islanders call a 'bach' a 'crib' instead

Bed.
(Even though you are right)Never heard of a bed being referred to as a 'scratcher'. I swear some of these must have been made up

How could he have not seen the shirts?!

ha, yeah, dunno. He was mighty embarassed when I explained why I was lying on the ground.
Shonkie is dodgy isn't it? Like a shonkie car, or a shonkie leg. (dodgy as in bad)

Plutie
Acne - blackheads. Jeez, you can tell that Tiwa's in Southland because half of the sayings are Scottish. :sunnies:

I thought "A Blue" was an arguement
-

Not sure if you were offering this as an answer - but Head Sharang is slang for "the boss" ie: "who's the head sharang around here?"
? Snot? Mountain Oyster
Bloody townies. :finger: A mountain oyster is slang for a sheep's testicles.

a shufti is a look
as in, give me a shufti at that
Offsider is a workmate, usually used in the Navy, where you might have a few people doing the same job in different watches/shifts
so say your the supervisor of #1 shift your offsider would be the the supervisor of #2 shift.
-
^ lol. you wanganui folk...
Yeh, I've heard that before. But IIRC it came from a backwards wangas girl...
Fixed some
I think "A blue" sounds like it should be cockney, not NZ slang. I've never heard it... and it's rhyming slang.
Illegal tegal, lol. I get it now. Illegal chick. haha. Still never heard it before.
But now you've said that, I do know that one too! Just havn't heard it since I was about... 7.
And as for shonkie, i do recall that now, yeh. Have heard that one before.
And 'crib' being an otago thing... bach ~= crib... maybe if you're retarded. Not a house but a bach I think I may have heard before. But in general terms americans apply it to a house in full, and if anyone here uses it in that way, they're retarded IMO.
Oh shiiii... 2 posts in 1 thread, zarkov's gonna be pissssssssssed...
-

Hmmm, it might be actually.
Also, Shufti? Seconding the accent thing, pretty sure this is meant to be "shifty".
-

According to the Oxford University Press: dictionary of New Zealand English; 'plutie' is short for 'plutocracy' or anyone considered upper-class.
I've never heard of the word and think someone just made it up.

These are two other words that I'd NEVER EVER HEARD OF. I thought offsider was a cheater. Thankfully one of the more working-class-folk set us all straight.
I think "A blue" sounds like it should be cockney, not NZ slang. I've never heard it... and it's rhyming slang.

It IS! Well, its a fight usually at a pub.
When a fight happens at a bar then the participants(and bar owner) are(were) issued a blue form or 'bluey' from the police so having a fight was known as having 'a blue'. Drunken mates come in handy sometimes!
Illegal tegal, lol. I get it now. Illegal chick. haha. Still never heard it before.
I thought it was jailbait too. I have heard of Wood Pigeons being referred to as 'Bush tegels' though.
And 'crib' being an otago thing... bach ~= crib... maybe if you're retarded. Not a house but a bach I think
Thats the thing though. They dont use 'bach' down here, they just say holiday home or crib
This whole english thing is just weird
-
wtf does pow pow mean?
-
The act of ejaculating...
I believe the correct spelling is "peow peow"
eg bro, check out that fly honey over there! i'd totally be in there, like, "peow peow"

Ah yes, i stand corrected. It's pretty old though, i can't recall hearing it for years and even then not at all on a regular basis. BTW, the word i was thinking of was "plukes" (that's scottish slang for acne/blackheads).

Micky-doolan is a cathloic

And 'crib' being an otago thing... bach ~= crib... maybe if you're retarded. Not a house but a bach I think I may have heard before.
Yeah nah. Tiwa's right in saying, generally any further South than CHCH 'bach' is replaced by 'Crib', although in my opinion the two are slightly different in that Cribs tend to be more run down and shitty - although that's more likely to do with the part of the island they're in, as every 'bach' I've been to has been up near Nelson/Golden Bay, and every 'crib' has been south of Dunedin.
To conclude: KFC is fucken good.
-
Haha, KFC.
Yeh nah... that's a sad modern trend. The term 'bach' is now being applied to what would better be descri... A FUCKING FLY IN MY ROOM@!! *ahem* hehe, little shit got impaled by my joystick... :P ... described as a 'holiday home'. Bach by definition is a small run down old place with very minimal basics to go on. Normally full of great old school tech, like your old one unit ring top stove + oven... and a fridge you have to kick in the right place to get the door to seal properly...

Ah, I've often heard "micky-doos". So yeh, I suppose.

All that comes in to my head is that perhaps the term applies to that redhead you nailed on last saturday's one night stand...
-

First thing out of google is "Irish lace curtains"... so maybe.

I see what you mean. I've never heard of sinker in any other context. Downer maybe, but not sinker. :confused:

Yeah i think the definition i gave more matches downer than sinker.
I was a wharfie for a while.
I can't believe I forgot that one >_< or long drop
I have heard of Irish curtains very recently so I don't know if it is a new euphemism but can't remember what it is.
I think since there are often used only verbally, it's difficult to see these words in print. Putting these terms in to context would have made the task a lot easier me thinks.
-

Actually, the only other time i've heard "sinker" used was in relation to a poo. "It was a sinker, not a floater". :chuckle:
-
perve = short for pervert
perve - also: to look at, usually in a leery manner.
"Dood, i've just got the latest Playboy.
Gis a perve"
-
mmm yea. Not really quite equivalent to pervert.
A perv might just mean a good look. (usually leery as iHoff said... when checking out women on the street as they go by, etc.)
A pervert might just accidentally install a spy cam in the ladies changing rooms.
-
irish curtains = net curtains?????
No it means 'Cobwebs' and I've only ever seen it used in a poem

Yup, "having a shufti" is taking a look at something. But i'm pretty sure it's cockney in origin.

There was some confusion in class about the word 'Oosh' as in 'No one in the class knows what Oosh means'.
Oosh is the sound you make when you see something cool, the sound of something flash.
True or false?
-
It can also be used in shock.
Or in response to something unexpected.
Like you are watching a rugby game and someone gets tackled...."OOSH, did you see that!?"

I think people have started to use it ironically. Like "I know I am saying a silly word to describe something, therefor I will use it to describe something awesome".
-
Yeah Shufti comes from Brit Forces from Shufti: arabic to have a look. have a shufti at that. The shufti kite was a recon plane, for example.
Probably entered the Kiwi vernacular post WWars, I guess.
One of my faves is 'gruts' for undies, I wonder if that is a local one from around here?
-
Aussies use it too I think, along with the compound bastard "grundies"

I dont think its specifically a Mongrel Mob term as much as a "gang" related term. Certainly happens in other gangs, MC's etc. It's also not always rape, some women block themselves to pay off drug debts etc. But yeah blocking a chick = everyone gets a turn.. Pres/sgt at arms/officers/etc first, then members, prospects, associates, visitors, club dogs..

usage: "Give her a spit roast on the block and teach the bitch how to ski!" (Meaning one bloke fucking at each end, and the girl giving two handjobs at the same time)
