I always thought EH was the equivelent of "what?"
and AYE was a word seeking agreement as in "hot today aye".

It's certainly a word that the most of the school children use, along with a lot of the little sayings from Bro Town.
Language is a fascinating thing isn't it? It evolves and changes all the time.

Fascinating is right & not only the pronounciation of word but also the spelling. I will never get used to the American way of spelling. Some of my favourites are tire liter & center rather than tyre litre & centre.....
Having just been sent a DVD of Bro Town I couldnt imagine young kids watching it let alone speaking like that....am so glad my sons are grown now & didnt have to go through all that!!

Lol!! when I first got here I couldn't even understand what they were saying in that cartoon.
Now I do, and I also laugh at the humour. Is this a sign that I've integrated into NZ society? I've passed the Bro Town test?

I too laugh at it but really thought it was an adult cartoon & have to wonder why parents are letting young children watch it?? My son (29) is laughing at me saying that & just told me Im showing my age now by saying that but some principles I have will never change & if thats showing my age then so be it

My kids are 10 and 12 and also laugh at The Simpsons so I'd say they have a pretty well developed sense of humour.
I'm a Southpark and The League of Gentlemen fan. In my youth I was glued to the set when Monty Python was on but my parents hated it and couldn't see the humour in it at all.
