quicko: the kiwi accent

As aforementioned (ages ago, if you've been keeping track), Australians regard New Zealand more or less as Americans regard Canada. However, while Americans have basically one linguistic recourse for deep jibes, eh, the Australians have more. "Fush and chups" is the standard ("fish and chips"), though "fairy" for "ferry" gets its fair share of play, too. My favorite, though, happens to be hearing tales of woe regarding the unfortunate "dick" of the surfboard. ("deck")
