The Reed Dictionary of New Zealand Slang The Reed Dictionary of New Zealand Slang is a comprehensive and updated collection of the informal language of New Zealanders. The more than 30,000 entries cover the astonishing range of weird and wonderful communal sayings that give Kiwi speak its distinctive flavour. From the earliest days, the interaction of Maori and English has generated the most incontrovertibly Kiwi slang, from komaty and pissed as ten pigeons under a mockamock tree through the many variations of up the boohai shooting pukakas to recent contributions such as electric puha, Tegel pigeon, the kapaiburger and the kotanga aerial.

Every area of Kiwi endeavour has contributed slang - topdressing's chewing the kumara, deadend jobs down the coast diving for fish farts and encountering the Blenheimers or the leather ladies.
