Quote from: KITTY;922415
some of these are Australian and I suspect a lot of these are also very regional.  Here's what I have.
crib = steal/copy for ones own use
bach = a shack, now more likened to a holiday home by the beach (beach version of a lodge)


crib = bach - depending on how far south you are (and now, probably how old you are)

my grandparents owned a crib in riverton for instance.

My classmates what me to do the part 2 of this video, but I only did the video as a joke as most people in foreignstan dont believe chur, yous or giz are real words.

There was some confusion in class about the word 'Oosh' as in 'No one in the class knows what Oosh means'.

Oosh is the sound you make when you see something cool, the sound of something flash.

True or false?

It can also be used in shock.

Or in response to something unexpected.

Like you are watching a rugby game and someone gets tackled...."OOSH, did you see that!?"

I think people have started to use it ironically. Like "I know I am saying a silly word to describe something, therefor I will use it to describe something awesome".

Yeah Shufti comes from Brit Forces from  Shufti: arabic to have a look. have a shufti at that. The shufti kite was a recon plane, for example.
Probably entered the Kiwi vernacular post WWars, I guess.

One of my faves is 'gruts' for undies, I wonder if that is a local one from around here?

I dunno, we say heaps heaps.
For example:  Australians try to claim heaps of our shit.

Related to *juice*. The Orz like *sauce*, which they seem to acquire through killing: "After the *dancing*, Orz think you will make good *special sauce*. Maybe even for other Orz *party*." It would seem this is likely to be something sinister. The Orz apparently wish those who take part in *parties* to enjoy the *sauce*, as in the above quote, or in their parting words from random encounters: "Do not forget to *enjoy the sauce*."

Blocking ie. put a woman on the block.

I dont think its specifically a Mongrel Mob term as much as a "gang" related term.  Certainly happens in other gangs, MC's etc. It's also not always rape, some women block themselves to pay off drug debts etc. But yeah blocking a chick = everyone gets a turn.. Pres/sgt at arms/officers/etc first, then members, prospects, associates, visitors, club dogs..

Gang patois maybe, hardly a "Kiwi term"

Getting a bit too far off topic for my taste.
