Re: New Zealand Greeting .

Nice to meet you, Peatle, and to finally put a face to your name. Perhaps you or EasyBeat could enlighten the rest of us non-Kiwi's on what it means to be a "dag"? lol

Re: New Zealand Greeting .

Thanks Peatle. You started my day off with a smile.
I hear that you're a "dag"...I would like to know if that's a good or bad thing..I'm thinking a good thing.
Good to see your face.

Thanks Chordie for the years of music and advise.

Re: New Zealand Greeting .

Ricky
well you asked for it!
A dag is the poo that gets stuck on the wool around a sheeps arse!
Yes true!!!!
But some how a dag has also come to mean `bit of a character`
Peatle is the second one.

Re: New Zealand Greeting .

Thanks easybeat. You folks sure have a funny way of talking way down there.... I'll bet ours sounds about as funny to you.
Thanks for clearing up the definition for me. Yes, let's go with "bit of a character".

Thanks Chordie for the years of music and advise.

Re: New Zealand Greeting .

Gidday ( Kiwi way of saying Howdy) Topdown , Uncle Joe, Rickyjack, Keepitreal,Tig, Tenement, sorry about the sound quality my laptop doesnt record that well.
Easybeat I appreciate you explaining what a Dag is. Our overseas friends most probably dont use words like Gum Boot, Jandals , Kai, Wops, Pakeha, Batch, Old Bombs, Feeling Crook, Grouse, Jee Jees and the word  Kiwi for New Zealander. But I guess they would understand most of our banter down at our local watering hole.

Re: New Zealand Greeting .

Thank you Rickyjack I will attach another NZ song for you to check out by a band that is from here that Joe Walsh of the Eagles liked. He even came over to NZ to help them in the recording studio. The video was made at a Marae up on the East Coast of New Zealand at a place called Ruatoria.       Marae (Maori meeting place)

Re: New Zealand Greeting .

It's been a busy week back to work - but I was smiling when I saw this one this morning!  Thanks for the "Hello!"  Pete!  I've no clue what all your funny sayings mean, but I have no doubt we've got a bunch of them here too!  In fact, I know we do!  I think that was one of the most fun parts about having Roger here last year - comparing all our odd sayings!  ha ha!

Re: New Zealand Greeting .

Gidday Amy that is always lots of fun working out people differant sayings.  Even little things that people say, here in New Zealand we quiet often refer to a guitar as a gat. Cherio when I was growing up here in NZ meant goodbye. Though now days it is not used by the modern generation. My 95 year old Mother always says cherio when saying good bye to me.
Cherio for now.
