How would you respond if a New Zealander invited you to a "leg-in"?
Would you know what to do if someone told you to pull up a
"browser"? Without some assistance, most foreigners would indeed be
baffled by the intricacies of the Kiwi tongue. Now, however, help
is available as Louis S. Leland Jr., a professor of psychology at
the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, unravels the
mysteries of this colorful language. Composed in equal parts of
fact and hilarity, this specialized dictionary will aid the
traveler, amuse the linguist, and delight even the casual observer.
This book is a perfect companion volume to Pelican's comprehensive
Maverick Guide to New Zealand, widely acclaimed as the best
guidebook on the subject.
