G'day xox-nic-xox, Thank you for your question. Many of the slang words are similar to those in Australia although a dag is a nerdy person in Australia. Eh at the end of sentences is a particular Kiwi trait. Root for sexual intercourse is another common one - note to visiting Americans do not talk about rooting your team unless you want to provoke laughter. The Tall Blacks for the New Zealand basketball team is another that appeals to me. I have attached sources for your reference.

lol I really like this question! more (insert object here) then you can shake a stick at. Bach is a New Zealand thing that I didn't know anyone else didn't know six is always pronounced correctly eh I always thought was more canadian then New Zealand and if you thought tall blacks was interesting, the New Zealand batminton team is called the black cocks. people can be called "munters" and things can be described as "mungus". People are also called "bro" a lot

I know a few, I was born in NZ... We say "bro" alot, sometimes we shorten it to "bo" (pronounce Bau, like saying bowl minus the l) "Don't be a hater, be a player congratulator" in other words dont hate, appreciate. "Chea bo" meaning yea man! ummm what else, lol its been a long time since I been back to NZ, I live in Australia now. And of course the classic "Fish n chips" (Fush n Chups) also as mention above the way we pronounce six...
