When I moved to NZ my husband and I was invited to a bbq and was asked to bring a plate, so we took two plates, the Kiwis said where’s the food, we looked so embarrassed and said we thought you didn’t have enough plates. Well we all looked at one another and laughed so much. We learnt from that day on. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

That would have been embarrassing for you. The host should have be thoughtful enough to explain. I've been out of NZ for so long now, I would never ask guests to bring food!

When I lived in NZ 10 years ago, everyone would say "sweet-as" meaning something is cool or awesome. That's sweet-as!

In the US, potlucks are a big thing for family events and churches.

in Ireland we also use the word "dear" to say something is expensive but I would say it's mainly an older generation that use it. I always thought it was an irish thing haha

And in a year's time, your kiwi accent has returned to full strength. I wonder what a comparison would be like of your French accent now to today.

I’m in the USA and potlucks are actually very common here at least from what I’ve seen and I’ve heard the term noggin occasionally but that’s pretty rare. I’ve also heard people say that something is “jacked up” occasionally.

Potlucks are an institutionalized part of U.S. for everything from at the workplace, schools, churches, clubs, parties, etc. "Dear" for costly isn't AS used, but it is well-understood by at least half the population, and more commonly used by well-educated and cosmopolitan people. And lastly, "jacked up" is used for all sorts of things from a gym-rat with muscles "he's jacked up" or just "he's jacked", to something that's broken or really back ("carked") as in the "car was jacked up after the wreck" or "I can't believe he said that; that's jacked up!".

I’m American and we’ve always used the term potluck. Some of the best meals I had growing up were potlucks. We also use the term noggin, but usually in talking to a child. “I bet that bump did hurt your noggin.” And I’ve heard a few people use the term dear in relation to expensive, or in some cases meaning sacrifice. “That time helping John with his house cost her dear.”

I’ve not heard “dear” in quite the same context myself in the US, but I have heard it said more like, “that cost him dearly”. Interesting!

I LOVE these phrases. I live just outside of DC. I'm going to start saying these on the regular to confuse people.

I've heard Dear in the UK, to mean "a bit expensive", we also use noggin, bugger all, piss up in brewery

This is a really goodie! Thank you.

Listen to The Beatle's "When I'm 64" and you'll hear "dear" used with the same meaning. It's just an old fashioned way to say "expensive" in British English ;)

Love all these.im half kiwi and lived there last 12 yrs. Watching this warmed my heart

Last year I worked on a cruise ship in Australia and my cabin-mate was a kiwi. I loved learning about the expression "all good?" I always knew what to say to her when I saw her! Also thank you so much for telling us about the great course plus! I can't wait to start learning!

I like the Dunny, and the long drop lol 😂

Pretty awesome video and it was really useful for us to keep up doing like this girl.

Thank you for this video. Interestingly, the word "DEAR" in Russian language is used very similar to New Zealand way. It literally means expensive, but it also used as sign of affection, for example, a wife can call her husband "dear".

Amazing accent, i love it

Couldn't organize a piss-up in brewery is very common in the UK too!

In the US we use some of these as well! potlucks, noggin, goodie, we have something similar in KY to "couldn't organize a piss up", all good, bro/cuz. I love your accent!

As far as I am aware we use “dear” in the uk. I thought maybe it was just me as I spent 2 years in NZ as a kid. But I just asked my partner and he said it’s commonly used here

Potluck is common in the U.S. ; everyone brings a dish. A less common term is a burgoo, which is like potluck, but is usually a community driven event.

We use "potluck" with the same meaning in the U.S. as well, and also "noice", which feels like it came from a comedy show or movie. Loved the video! Thanks!

A few of these are common phrases in Ireland. We use dear to mean expensive and as a greeting in a letter. In French the word Cher is used in both these senses too. A piss-up & Couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery are used here too. All good is common here too. I love the way some very old English words that have fallen out of use in England are still used in NZ like noggin.

In America: To "jack something up" is to mess it up, ruin it. Vandalize, steal, or if you "Jack someone up" you beat them up. The only time "Jack a car up" is ever good is if you literally Jack your car up for a tire change lol.

Heyy I’ve seen your video about why it is so hard to make friends in france and I wanted to ask If you maybe could please make a video with tips for how to make friends/ find new friends in france? 😊

I love goody goody gum drops!

Many of these are used in the UK too. Also pretty sure dreaming comes from "he's dreaming" from the Aussie film The Castle. Have learnt new ones though, and as a Brit permanent resident in NZ that's handy, so cheers!

Piss Up - Party, alcohol involved. Pissed - means drunk You won't hear drunks saying "I'm piss up" but you will hear them saying "I'm pissed"

I grew up in the southeastern United States, and we also use the saying that things are "Dear" when they are expensive. I have also lived all over the USA and everyone uses "noggin" and "potluck" as well.

In the US we do potlucks a lot, and we say 'noggin' too!

Thanks, very informative, and cool presented. Just the written terms disappeared way to quickly for me. ;)

In my part of the US (Texas) we say potluck, noggin, noice, and cuz/fam. The rest I found delightfully whimsical.

@@bridgetleonard6702 I agree, but maybe she was under the impression it was a NZ thing. It's sometimes hard to know what terms are used in other countries.

"Potluck" is SUPER COMMON in the US. I know it isn't used much elsewhere, but didn't know it was common in NZ. Cool! I wouldn't say "bring a plate", though, I'd say "bring a dish to share", or as I usually say on my game night facebook events, "bring food/drink to share".

JFYI: “dear” was used in the same way, by the older generation in the New Orleans (French creole not Acadian”) area, but “potluck” is commonly used throughout the US today.

Terms heard in the United States ~ 1) potluck ~ very popular term... a Friday work potluck, a church potluck, members of a club hold a potluck @ a gathering, a family reunion potluck, friends & family gathering for a potluck; especially for holidays or a birthday 2) noggin ~ usually heard from older people, was a term used 30 or 40 years ago. Used when child falls hits their noggin / head develops a “goose egg” / bump. Could be some who has a head injury needing stitches. Or in the case of someone who has difficulty understanding a concept. “They can’t get .... across their noggin.” 3) bro / cuz ~ usually used by males from the younger generation to describe their friends / individual members of their crowd. Unfortunately this term also has a negative vibe because it is used by those in the “gang culture.” FYI ~ I am from Texas. I heard many of these concepts when I traveled in New Zealand for a month about 20 years ago. Also, when I traveled w/ Contki Travel Tours & Adventures on 5 different world travels, I heard many of these expressions used by the Kiwis. The expression that stands out in my head is “yeah those people are on the dole” was explained to us non- Kiwis / Ozzies in the tour group. Traveling the world w/ y’all was an eye opening adventure! I would love to extend those adventures!

There are some terms still used in NZ that you'd consider old fashioned in the US. But from my point of view as a NZer, there are many terms you guys use that sound weird and quaint to us. I think it's fascinating how we all speak the same language, but usage of certain terms can be so different

I think potluck is used widely across the US in exactly the same way. I will say one thing that people from NZ or England say as if everyone knows what they're talking about and that is Lolly. We definitely do not use that term in the US. But I assume it means a candy?

AUSSIES say " Dear " , " Pot Luck " is you get what You are given , a mystery Yes NZ say " Dairy " Aussies " Milk Bar " , Aussies NOT say PACK A SAD but Crack The Sads , " Tramping " is very NZ we go hiking , ALL GOOD is used in AUS too , THE movie THE CASTLE gave us " Tell Em They're dreamin' " . NOGGIN , CROOK and BUGGER ALL are in use in AUS , ' Noice ' is from Kath And Kim TV Show , BRO , LEGEND and DOLE BLUDGER are all in use in AUS . Yes there is strong NZ accent in the voice

In the U.S. we say “they’re on the government dole” and piss is to pee or urinate and to say piss for peeing is a harsh way to express it so not often used in social conversation. We say noggin as well, but usually when talking to children as a cute expression for head.

We have Dairy Mart in Indiana..

In the section about ice cream did you say it has fruit “jubes”? I wonder if that is the same candy we would call jujubees in America? Also, when you talked about popping down to the corner store…do you call it a Deery, or Deary, or Dairy? I couldn’t tell and that was the only one without the words beneath. Ok last question, when you talk about lollies at the corner store, is that a catchall word for candy? In America a lolly would be a lollipop or a sucker - a specific candy on the end of a stick. Love this video! I would love to move from Alaska to New Zealand.😊

To answer your questions; 1) I think you'd call them gummies in America, but the ones in this icecream are a bit denser and chewy 2) It's 'Dairy' but with a NZ accent. They also used to be called milk bars in NZ too, so I think it's all interelated. Traditionally milk was their 'made item' and then stay started selling other stuff alongside it. So the term dairy has stuck around, whereas milk Bar sounds very old fashioned now. My Nana used to say 'I'm going to the milk Bar to get some bread' etc 3) Lollies are a broad term and similar to what you refer to as candy in the US. The only difference is lollies do not refer to chocolate. So you you can 'go down to the dairy to buy some lollies and chocolate'

As a south African we also say "get your ass into gear", "couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery", "going bush" for us in afrikaans is "gaan bos" which means "to go a bit crazy". You have a fair bit of UK slang which is also known in South Africa, and most of the places the UK colonised. Piss up is also a party basically everywhere. Cock up also British Noggin, Bugger all, Jack up, bro/dude also used in South Africa

In the US, we say a few of these Kiwi phrases. I’m from the Midwest, which might make a difference? Specifically: Pot Luck, Noggin, Noice and Bro/Cuz. The most common phrase of the bunch would be Pot Luck (and the concept of one). Noggin you hear more when adults are taking about or to their kids, like, “You’re alright, you just got a little bump on your noggin.” Noice is more something teenagers would tend to say - or an adult trying to sound cool. Bro is pretty mainstream and is thrown around among young guys. Cuz tends to be something said more in rap/hip-hop music and surrounding culture, or as a more mainstream endearment/slang when referring to your actual cousin.

"Dear" is probably commonwealth because I grow up with that word in Barbados. It is now archaic but I hear an older person us it once in a while. "Potluck" is a current word in Barbados. "Bush" as a forest is current in Barbados but the expression "Going bush" is unknown. "All good " is common in Barbados but only used to describe a person's state or a situation, not an event. "Cock up" is used in all English speaking countries including the US. "Noggin'" is commonwealth. "Bugger all" is from the UK but has not spread to the entire commonwealth. "Jack up" means improve on other English speaking countries. "Cuz" for someone who is not a relative is Kiwi. "Bro" is common with all English speakers.

You missed a great one: the super-religious being called "god-botherers".

Hey there pot luck’s are totally a US thing as well. However I recently learned that depending on the region of the country it is said differently. We will do pot luck dinners for gatherings at homes, school events, even sometimes work lunches. Cuz & bro are used a lot also. Noggin is you sometimes, but actually the children’s channel Nickelodeon has a educational app called Noggin. Not sure if you get Nickelodeon and New Zealand. It’s the network that SpongeBob SquarePants is from. Not sure if you’re aware of that cartoon either, LOL😊. Btw I am in Connecticut, USA
