Surely you can't be serious?



This is an old clip from NZ, and stars two famous Kiwi's - John Clarke (aka Fred Dagg), and Temuera Morrison (aka Jake the Muss and Jango Fett from Star Wars II etc)
Some great Kiwi colloquialisms here - translation questions will be answered below

I looked that up, that guy was Oz, not kiwi.
When I spent about a month in Sydney 16 years ago on a major electrical retrofit, the electrical dept super was a kiwi, and he was always taking a ribbing for it.
They never left off.

Thanks.
