Lingo

So I have a few things happen these past few days that have made me decide to compare the lingo of someone from the NY Metropolitan area to that of a Kiwi... For starters my mom posted a comment asking what a "Jandal" is? Simply put it is a "Sandal/Flip Flop" actually thats what it is no simply put. The other instance was a email i received. Leo sent me an email and addressed it "Hey Seppo" I was like "W...T..F...?!?" and then she told me that her brother Nat refers to me as "Seppo"... That still didnt answer my question so I enquired further... she replied with it is a slang word for an American in Oceania Surfer talk... ok so how the hell did they stumble upon that slang name for an American. Affectionately it morphed from...

Yankee ---> Yank-tank ---> Septic tank === Seppo

So that had me thinking, that I have not shared with you the new words that I have been tossing around in casual conversation. I feel like I have been experience lingo similar to that from the movie "Juno" DREAM BIG...

Without further ado

There are plenty other different slang words. I have not picked up on them yet so I did not include them in my New Lingo List. A furter look into the lingo may call for a more entertaining method than reading.

Take these words and try and use them in your lingo... they are catchy...
