These examples of "How to speak New Zealand" were sent by someone who emigrated to New Zealand from England a while ago.
What helped me to understand New Zealand language, was to read each item out loud:
Peck - to fill a suitcase
Min - male of the species
Milburn - capital of Victoria
Pigs - for hanging out washing with
Pug - large animal with a curly tail
Nin tin dough - computer game
Munner stroney - soup
Mess Kara - eye makeup
McKennock - person who fixes cars
Mere - Mayor
Leather - foam produced from soap
Lift - departed
Kiri Pecker - famous Australian businessman.
