@BigFatHippo: So true. I have to say, that like many of those lingo glossaries, some of those terms are not exactly in common use. For example, have you given your ferret a run today, Grey?

Re: Hard yakka

I meant that in a good way, after all, he answers all our questions doesn’t he?

Learned all this in 5 minutes by Googling New Zealand lingo. Word!

@Grey: Dag: dag
adjective:- bits of manure that stick to the long wool around a sheep’s bottom forming small dangling balls. Also a term for a funny person, nerd, goof, loser. In this respect it can have either an endearing or disparaging meaning, although is usually used for a likable fellow.

This is not a term unique to Australia – it’s in quite common use here too.

I always use it in the latter context (ie likable!). For example, obviously I don’t know him, but I’d have to say that Hippo seems like a bit of a dag.

Hard yakka is hard work – he used it slightly incorrectly there

@BigFatHippo: Couldn’t resist! I saw this guy jiggling on TV tonight and it is burned in my memory forever. Wanted to share since you threw yourself out there in Speedo’s.

As to late – 11:00 EST and I’m turning into a pumpkin. As Hippo said last night the morning comes quick here on the east coast.

As a passing thought let me see if I can find something to leave you all with during this rain delay.
