Cheap Holidays In New Zealand

I was thinking about some of the language issues you might have...for instance it is quite common to hear someone say " I'm taken a slash" no it doesn't mean that they are going to steal a Traxxas Slash. What they are doing is taking a piss...or taking a pee...but taking the piss can also mean mocking someone...and getting pissed is not getting angry, it means getting drunk..

..lesson one in Kiwi..

I would imagine that most of the British colloquialisms would apply. Pissed = drunk is a Brit/Euro term as well. Though if I did have a Slash, I wouldn't mind if someone took it ...

Reminds me of a funny. A few years back we had a NFL football player by the name of "Refrigerator" Perry - so named because of his size. The British translation to "Icebox" Perry didn't quite work.

'Tis true... Taking the piss is a British term. It means joking around or mocking like you said.

Heres one for you Halgar. If taking a slash means to pee than consequently its a Traxxas Piss
