What Makes You An Honoury Kiwi?
For me ...
I've been to the supermarket (at night) in my slippers.
I've worn a pair of crocs (but not outside the home.)
I said "sweet" in a conversation.
I say "yis" instead of "yes" on a regular basis as it started as a piss take and then I couldn't shake it off.
I use the library (as books are too expensive.)
I watch the All Blacks when they play even though I have no idea of the rules.
And you?

Re: What Makes You An Honoury Kiwi?
I go out and feed the chickens in my PJ's and wellies - I have chickens!
We say "she'll be right' all the time then laugh
My husband wears uggs all winter
We call a subaru a Subaaaru!
I go round New World in my bare feet in the summer time
We have a ride-on
I watch Shortand street every week night and if I miss it I have to watch it 'on demand'
We watch the All Blacks and scream and yell louder than some kiwis ( a few of us were all watching it together and said we wish that NZIS could see us as it should really qualify us for citizenship!)
oh and the best one... we are skint! but happy
