The best thing about meeting people from different countries is learning new words. My favorites all come from my kiwi co-teacher and her lovely friend, Nicole, who teaches kindergarten.
togs = bathing suit
Let me just grab my togs, and off to the beach we'll go!
jandals = sandals
My jandals are filled with sand!
duck = crazy drivers
(After someone tries to kill us with their car, which happens daily)... What a duck!
I think you should try working these words into your daily conversations. Your friends will totally be impressed :)
Haha i'm sure the word was actually duck ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is! That's the greatest part! I tend to say nastier words and they just say duck. It's great :)
ReplyDeleteYes. TOTES!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter-in-law taught me that word.
