Review
This is the third book on Nu Zild slang by Justin Brown, following Rugby Speak and Cricket Speak. I found it laugh-out-loud nostalgic. Brown has written an informative introduction for most of the chapters and explains many of the expressions just in case readers can't work them out for themselves.

Product Description
Do you speak Nu Zild? Over 150 years we have developed our own unique take on the English language. And it's not just about fush and chups. Rather it's about the often hilarious and sometime downright baffling New Zealandisms we use in all sorts of situations, and for all types of pastimes and passions. In KIWI SPEAK, the top-selling author of CRICKET SPEAK and RUGBY SPEAK eavesdrops at the dinner table, the school yard, the farm and the sports club to bring us an entertaining dictionary of phrases and expressions. Drawn from a wide range of popular Kiwi culture, these are sayings we used to say and sayings we shouldn't say - but all toast the way New Zealanders yarn.
