Shall I tell you the meaning of a few words??

While the Kiwis in New Zealand insist they speak English, there are times I beg to differ with them. I have begun to jot down a few words, and would like to share them with you.

Tog- a swimming suit
Morning Tea- snack
Rubber- an eraser
Wheely Bin- garbage can
Rubbish- garbage
Boot- the trunk of the car


While I am talking about words, I will also discuss pronunciation...

We say garage... they say garriage (carriage with a "g")

I am sure there will be more to follow on this subject!
