Kiwi-isms, a public service announcement, version 2.0, the answers

In an effort to make things a bit more exciting AND interactive instead of just giving you the meanings of these kiwi-isms I would encourage you out there to fill in what you think these mean...no cheating please. Answers will be available in approximately one week. Thank you for your support. (Oh by the way for those wise guys out there this is Peter's idea NOT Shelley's!)

"chilly bin" cooler to keep food cold
"cuppa" as in a cup of tea or coffee
"crook" not feeling well, sick
