When it comes to growing up in Aotearoa, it's safe to say our vocabulary is based around our original and sometimes ridiculous slang we've created over the years.
Whether you're from the top of the North Island to those who roll their R's in the south, there's a lot of common slang words we've made our own in the land of the long white cloud.
Often foreigners give us strange looks before adopting our slang and take them back home to spread the gospel.
Now, after an extensive survey, New Zealand's top 10 slang words have been revealed.
Thanks to iLoveNZ which conducted the survey, more than 18,000 Kiwis and foreigners weighed in on our country's top quirky and original sayings.
