Only one of you out there jumped on board with your guesses about the Kiwi vocabulary I listed. And you were actually pretty accurate with some of your guesses.
So, here are the words I listed, and their meanings/usages:
Flash - something very nice. As in "That's a flash house."
Togs - your swim suit
Jandals - flip-flops - an abbreviated version of Japanese Sandals.
Plasters - band-aids
Busting - used in reference to an urgent personal need. As in "I drank too much water and I'm busting!"
Boot - the trunk of your car
Mince - ground beef
Capsicum - a pepper, doesn't really matter the color. just say capsicum in the place of pepper, and tack the color on the front.
There you have it! A less than exhaustive list of words I no longer have a use for, now that I'm living with Grandma instead of Kiwis.
