[edit] New Zealand slang

WP:NOT a slang dictonary Transwiki to Wikinaries (spelling) and Delete --JAranda | watz sup 04:54, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. But maybe change category to New Zealand Dialect. [Amake]-Annon User only has 3 edits 2 from this article --JAranda | watz sup 08:07, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and verify. Sources would be nice but article with potential to be very useful. Capitalistroadster 08:39, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

• Almost all the uniquely New Zealand terms here are already covered at New Zealand English. The rest are slang terms used in a lot of countries. Merge any other NZ-specific ones to New Zealand English, delete the rest, and use as a redirect. Grutness...wha? 09:01, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with New Zealand English#Vocabulary and New Zealand English#Unique New Zealand English vocabulary into new article New Zealand vocabulary or New Zealand words, similar to Australian words. --jnothman ^talk 10:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

• also, in response to Grutness, terms shared with Australian English should be given as an example in a separate section of this article on common slang shared between the two countries. Those shared with more general English should probably be removed. jnothman
