what's chook?
Dolphin.
what's chook?
Slang for chicken. I thought it was a fairly standard thing, but it seems the Yanks here didn't know what it meant either.
how about a 2,4 KG duck for 10 euros!
An idea for our dinner then? I'll get the duck, you bring the wine?
What is Mongolian food like?
May I remind you that I'm a. Not a yank and b. Not a native English speaker?
I must seem so cold, since I almost never cry at that sort of thing, and feel really awkward because of it, and because I've no idea what else to do so that I don't look completely devoid of emotions.
Very dear Chicken,
How does duck sound to you? How about Duck in blackberrysauce? Or in orange sauce can be good too! We have a big blackberry plant in the garden So that'd be nice to use.
Hungry regards,
Rooster
I was dry-eyed at my aunt's funeral, until the coffin was in the grave and I made an effort to realise exactly what was going on. I tend to go a bit numb and repressed.
Oh, but that's what I mean - I was under the impression it was a global English word, but evidently it's not (with the Yanks as proof), so I'm guessing it must just be Aussie and Kiwi slang. Though I could've sworn I'd encountered it used by people from England ...
I bet Ali, our resident pedant, knows just how common a word it is.
Hey guys
Some student union guy is giving us a speech on how it's bad for the government to reintroduce third level fees

Dearest Rooster,
I think that sounds like a fantastic suggestion? Do you have any delicious cheeses for a side dish?
-ing Already,

I'm always cold and seem non-emotional. But yea, when my sis cries, I cry.
I feel bad about saying this, but I totally do not look forward to that funeral.
Greetings, John.
I always ignore the student union people. Even if I completely agree with them. Usually I just think "shut up, you're making us all look bad."
I don't think anyone looks forward to funerals.
Well I'm kind of against fees coming back
Not that I think it's wrong to pay just that I think it's suicide by the government to bring them back
I'd always thought it was an Australian thing... wasn't aware till now that it was definitely in NZ too. So I clearly phail.
My very dearest Chicken,
I'm glad you approve. Ofcourse there will be some fine cheese, how about some french bread with young goat cheese, put in the oven with a bit of port on it?
Eagerly awaiting your response,
Rooster
Hi John!
Student unions...
Oh yeah. I'm the kind of person who tends to support free tertiary education. But if the union here agitated for it, I wouldn't get involved just because I can't stand them.
What on earth just happened to your avatar, GG2?
I can think of a few people's funerals I'm lookingNo, I doubt anybody in history really has.
Dearest Rooster,
I think that would work fantastically. Shall we also organise a range of crackers and dips?
Rather starving,
Ax
"Advanced Hair, Yeah Yeah"
Yeah, definitely a Kiwi thing; in my mind, I think of it as more a Kiwi than Aussie thing, actually. I certainly would more expect a New Zealander to use it. I generally only think of Aussies using 'chook' as a term of endearment or whatever.
Oh Ax, you're BAD!
