Munted also means broken... and you can be keen for things other than girls you wanna root. E.g if you’re hungry you could say you’re keen for a feed.

[@cayleyn14yearsago17]

Theo Price-Sherrie he was just using it as an example

[@k_airo]

Itz Cayley Yeah and he’s right. I just wanted to clarify some other meanings :D

[@PurrJJ]

well obviously lmfao he's not going to give every example possible for each slang word

[@arcticgacha830]

Yeah. WAIT, ROOT? NAW DAS AUSTRALIAN! ANGERY

[@Hannah2]

I'm aussie and use all these words except for chur so thank you for introducing me to my new fav word 👌 Also I'd say 'give us a squizz' more like 'give us a look' than 'give us a go' but probs just different over there

[@jessrigby3750]

Hannah Peart they know we are better than them so thy steal are words

[@dw2843]

I'm Aussie too but we must've grown up in opposite sides of the country because I haven't heard most of these words in my life.

[@archboyd]

Yea that's how squizz is normally used but we would also use "gizza" (gizz-ah) short for give us a ..., Gizza squizz/go/turn/bite etc.

[@caitsimpson7185]

Hannah Peart same! I use all of these, especially yeah-nah haha

[@charlottedenman7134]

I'm also Aussie and I too use most of these words

[@cruiznnz]

When we used the word Squizz it meant to have/take a look

[@chenilleanderson8936]

yea or have a go/take a turn

[@sironen24]

Jack, ghez is too have a look lol

[@lilytatui5749]

Yeah I use it like that too lol

[@barrynichols2846]

So do I

[@moriathanksgiving3918]

'Bugger all' is used in Britain too 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (quite a few are used in Britain)

[@jessicabishop8073]

i live in nz and i say munted when something is broken or weird like 'that kennel is munted'

[@LilyLPS]

same haha

[@Larissanicoleking]

Same!

[@marissaemilia2634]

Same, I agree

[@sharonhutton3605]

Same, either that or if someone is drunk asf

[@ithinkitstony]

Might mean like wasted or something. So if you were trying to say someone was drunk and wasted, munted can be used. On the other hand, an object can be broken or wasted, and you can say like “that kennel is munted.” Just a thought.

[@meme-vm7jh]

When he said a teacher calls you in for a meeting I thought of Ms grundy

[@lbt1287]

Wtf? I thought bugger all was Australian😂 didn’t know kiwi’s said that

[@MrHendrix17]

Australia and New Zealand have a lot of overlap in culture

[@cheeehoo8289]

Usually the South Island kiwis say it, usual farmer slang

[@paytonbaker6632]

danielle nah these are like mostly New Zealand’s there’s just loads of Kiwis living in Aussie that’s why it gets over there

[@abbieturner5031]

People say bugger in the UK as well lmao like for example “you cheeky Bugger” 😂😂

[@tordyclark]

We started it. Aussies always pretend..

[@amymatthews6740]

[@bh-ms5px]

[@sionefalesene4543]

forgot to put skux... cos i hear that a lot when i was in nz

[@michellespencer9398]

That’s a very outdated slang word, but made popular again by the movie ‘the hunt for the wilder people’

[@hariklianicola4544]

skux deluxe bro chur!

[@slickwolf5492]

Skux is pretty dead now

[@hariklianicola4544]

tell me about it.. i have never heard anyone actually weave it into a conversation

[@kaylanotkyla]

skuxx was most prominently used around 2006-2012, especially around late primary to secondary schools. skuxx means either ladiesman/player or a mean as guy w flash (boujee) attire. usually used towards males

[@williamandholly1105]

I 💕 his New Zealand accent!

[@jadekruze6123]

[@brent530]

We use a lot of these in the UK, infact I probably used half of these words today alone

[@Charlotte-xw6qh]

[@jungsuk888]

Some NZ slang is outdated American slang lol they say “far out” a lot as a “no way” Every time I hear them say it I feel like I’m in the 80s

[@jungsuk888]

Gabriella Beecroft Oh correct me if I’m wrong haha I’ve only heard my Kiwi friends use it that way is there another meaning to it then?

[@johnny6127]
