Kiwi slang

If you think you've made a balls up,
Have made someone agro,
Had a barney with your room-mate,
Don't know what you're doing this arvo.

Might have a barbie, or pop round for a cuppa,
Have been asked to bring a plate, but probably won't get blotto.
If you consider yourself a dag, fair dinkum to ya mate.
But if you're “up the boohai shooting pukekos”, fair go!

Choice! Sweet! Beaut! You'll start to use these for sure!
In Aotearoa, they go hard out and give it heaps every day.
If you have no idea what all this means and want to solve the mystery,
It's Kiwi slang you need to know, so click on the links below - eh!
