You know you're from New Zealand when...

Old because there's nothing going on? So, if there were wild parties all the time, the land would be young? PLease make sense. Our land is old because it remained together after detachment from all else. It has survived the longest. It doesn't matter why that is so, the argument here is HAS IT?

If you want to debate the WHY now, let's go boyo

 

I said old, geologically. You know, Geology. Rocks (often grey, hard things that foreign visitors throw at you locals)

Yes it's old, but the Earth is the same age all over. It's just that in some regions of the planet, the soil is replaced faster than in other places. Some places are prone to erosion, undergo volcanic and other geothermal activity that cycle the land. So, you could say that Austalia's land isn't as.. shall we say.. DYNAMIC as other parts of the world.

Australia = STAGNANT.

 

Not dynamic? yet we have 20 million people ( and "just" a few kiwi's)
Whatever you reckon big boy

 

he's not talking about people.

 

yikes, what a silly thing to argue

you guys can keep the 'old world' i prefer the 'new world'

 

I know Soph, I used lashed the other day and my flatmate gave me a blank look and said 'oh my god did you just say lashed?'

 

Im just saying what my lecturer of Australian history told me last semester. Have a nice day.

 

That's okay. It just freaked out my poor little science brain... it wasn't anything personal, because there are several hypotheses out there regarding human evolution.. i guess i was stating my view and not listening to others. (maybe i should feel bad, but i dont)

 

You know your from New Zealand when you see a mate passed out from drinking and the first reaction isn't "SOMEONE GET HELP!" its, "hahaha bro look at _________ what a horsed kieent! help us carry him on the bed, give him a few hours and he'll be allsweet"

You know your from Australia when Sup = What you doing?
You know your from New Zealand when Sup = Sup and
upto/happening cuzz? = what you doing?

You know your from Australia when serious! = "deadset!"
You know your from New Zealand when Serious! = "Straight up!

You know your from New Zealand when hearing the term, "garage drinkups" brings back solid memories.



You know your from New Zealand when a normal part of a conversation is "haha fuck remember when "name of a mate" "what he did"
"haha yeah bro fuck that was a mean night!"

and finally you know your from New Zealand when after hitting up the local pools the quote that makes you all decide to leave is, "you wanna go do chip ins for a feed?" followed by "yo! keen!" and "yo thats us!" and you already KNOW that the feeds gonna be down at the fish and chip shop and its gonna go something like this... : "boys chuck us your chip-ins?" *chip-ins handed over (not in notes ofcourse, thats too rich) *head up to the counter "uhhh can i get aaaaa $5 chips, 4 deepfried mars bars and $1 mixed sauce and cheese on the chips please?" then, "bro, here take this and go down nd grab a bread and a starz yeah?" "ok sweet cuzz which one? Purple? " "yeh bro thats the one, if not then the green or red one"

If none of this makes sense to you your an Australian or a "aussie born" Maori/Islander/wannabe New Zealander

 

If none of this makes sense to you your an Australian.
