		<description><![CDATA[A brief introduction to the crazy world of New Zealand English (or Kiwi Speak, as it is commonly referred to).]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I come from a land down under. But I&#8217;m not talking about Australia &#8212; that&#8217;s <a href="http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/across+the+ditch.html" target="_blank">across the ditch</a>. I speak, of course, of the Land of the Long White Cloud; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aotearoa" target="_blank">Aoteroa</a>, NZ (and, by the way, that&#8217;s pronounced <a href="http://sarahydownunder.blogspot.com/2007/11/en-zed.html" target="_blank">&#8216;Een-Zeed&#8217;</a> down here). New Zealand English, or &#8216;Kiwi Speak&#8217;, is the unique way us <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_(people)" target="_blank">Kiwis</a> (New Zealanders) have of speaking. It&#8217;s all about the weird slang (that&#8217;s sometimes incomprehensible to all you Americans out there) and the funny pronounciation (I&#8217;m the first to admit it <i>is </i>funny). Welcome to New Zealand.</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/12/30/flagandmapofnewzealand_1.png" alt="" width="414" height="585" /></p>
<p>So, the first thing that foreigners notice when they visit NZ is, undoubtedly, our accent &#8212; which is completely different to any of the American, British (or even Australian) accents. Our way of speaking is often confused (by people in America and Britain) with the Australian accent, but you <i>really </i>don&#8217;t want to say that to a Kiwi. We have a bit of a love-hate relationship with our closest neighbour, so <i>any</i>&nbsp;New Zealander would go to great lengths to point out the differences between our two tongues (but, deep down, we love the Aussies&#8230;)</p>
<p>The New Zealand accent came from a mixture of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_English_in_Southern_England" target="_blank">Southern British accent</a>, <a href="http://www.irishslang.co.za/" target="_blank">Irish English</a>, <a href="http://www.macmillandictionaryblog.com/regional-english/scottish-english" target="_blank">Scottish English</a> and a little bit of influence from our buddies across the ditch in<a href="http://www.australianaccent.org/learn-an-australian-accent/" target="_blank"> Australia</a>. Other influences were &#8216;<a href="http://www.ic.arizona.edu/~lsp/QueensEnglish.html" target="_blank">Received Pronunciation</a>&#8216; (or &#8216;Queen&#8217;s English&#8217;) and the <a href="http://www.maorilanguage.net/" target="_blank">Maori language</a>.</p>
<h3><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_English#Pronunciation" target="_blank">Pronunciation</a></h3>
<p>The New Zealand accent is one of the newest native speaker varieties of the English language. Although it <i>is</i>&nbsp;a little similar to the Australian accent, there are some distinct differences. The most obvious difference between the two accents is the short &#8216;i&#8217; vowel sound. For example, a New Zealander says the word &#8220;Pin&#8221; much like an American would. However, an Australian pronounces this word as &#8220;Peen&#8221; &#8212; rhyming with the word &#8220;Scene&#8221;.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, on that subject, an Australian would say the word &#8220;Pen&#8221; much like an American would (maybe only <i>slightly</i>&nbsp;different). A New Zealander, on the other hand, would say &#8220;Peen&#8221; (the same as the Australian &#8220;Pin&#8221;). <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVYp8K0r3iI&amp;context=C2faf8ADOEgsToPDskLRfGhFPWxGBEfL95FHiiOC" target="_blank">This is true for a lot of words with a short &#8220;e&#8221; vowel sound</a>, such as &#8220;Left&#8221; (&#8221;Lee-ft&#8221;), &#8220;Head&#8221; (&#8221;Hee-dd&#8221;) and &#8220;Red&#8221; (&#8221;Ree-dd&#8221;).&nbsp;</p>
<p>The difference between the two languages becomes obvious when you compare some sentences:<br />Australians might say &#8220;Halve you gotta peen?&#8221;, while a Kiwi would say &#8220;Have you gotta pin?&#8221;. On the other hand, an Australian might say &#8220;I&#8217;m using a pen&#8221;, while a Kiwi would say &#8220;I&#8217;m using a peen&#8221;. New Zealanders often accuse Australians of saying the words &#8220;Fish and Chips&#8221; as &#8220;Feesh and Cheeps&#8221;. Aussies often accuse Kiwis of saying &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdVHZwI8pcA" target="_blank">Fush and Chups</a>&#8220;. So, basically, I&#8217;m saying that the accents are quite distinct.</p>
<p>There are only two properly distinct dialects of New Zealand English. These are the standard Kiwi accent and the so called &#8220;<a href="http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/southland-region/1/4" target="_blank">Southland Burr</a>&#8220;. Southland, a region that is (funnily enough) located at the very south of New Zealand, has had a greater Scottish influence in the development of its accent. So, when &#8216;normal&#8217; New Zealanders say the words &#8220;Purple Work Shirt&#8221;, they don&#8217;t pronounce the r&#8217;s (another characteristic of Kiwi Speak &#8212; the word &#8220;Girl&#8221;, for example, is pronounced somewhat like &#8220;Gill&#8221;). Southlanders, however, say &#8220;Purrple Worrk Shirrt&#8221;. This phenomenon is famous throughout New Zealand and is the source of some ridicule in the country.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you want a classic example of Kiwi pronunciation, try listening to the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/conchords" target="_blank">Flight of the Conchords</a> &#8212; a New Zealand duo who shot to stardom within NZ and even made a little bit of a presence in the US. On their HBO sitcom, one of the duo, Bret, constantly has his name &#8216;mispronounced&#8217; due to the difference between the NZ and American accents &#8212; in New Zealand, it is pronounced &#8220;Bree-t&#8221;, but American&#8217;s pronounce it similar to the word &#8220;Brat&#8221;.</p>
<h3>Words</h3>
<p>There is a lot of slang that has developed in New Zealand that is completely different from the English of America and Britain. Although there are many similarities with Australia (due to proximity) and, to some extent, Britain (a left over from our time as a colony) there is also many distinct words and phrases. Here are a few examples:</p>
<p><strong>~As</strong>&nbsp;&#8211; Used to emphasise an adjective. Eg, &#8220;<a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sweet%20as" target="_blank">Sweet as</a>&#8220;, &#8220;That car is cool as&#8221;<br /><strong>Au, Ow</strong>&nbsp;&#8211; Used mainly by Maori or Polynesian youth, can be used to emphasise a question, eg, &#8220;What&#8217;re you up to, ow?&#8221; meaning &#8220;What the hell are you doing?!&#8221;. Also used ambiguously to add emphasis but may add very little meaning at all. As in the phrase, made famous by the animated sitcom <a href="http://www.brotown.co.nz/index.html" target="_blank">Bro&#8217;town</a>, &#8220;<a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=not%20even%20ow!" target="_blank">Not even ow</a>&#8220;.&nbsp;<br /><strong>Bach</strong> or <strong>Crib</strong>&nbsp;&#8211; A modest holiday home, usually at a beach or lakeside location.<br /><strong>Bei</strong>&nbsp;&#8211; a mutated form of the slang word &#8220;Bro&#8221;.

It is used very vaguely and most Kiwis don&#8217;t realise how often they say it! Maybe this is one that only New Zealanders will ever understand.</p>
<p>Bear in mind that this is a nonexhaustive list and there are many new slang words that come into use every year. However, these are some of the ones that have survived the test of time and are still in common use in most places.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So now, if you ever come to New Zealand, you might actually be able to understand what we&#8217;re all saying. So please, take this as an invitation to our beautiful and interesting country. Please come, if for nothing more than to hear this &#8220;Kiwi Speak&#8221; in action!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Internet Slang has revolutionized the internet. Being used by thousands of people, mostly teens, online.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Internet Slang uses abbreviations, such as those used in social networking sites, or on instant messengers, or even on hand-held devices like mobiles. Originally set as a time saver; Internet Slang has now become a popular way of communicating; even making its way out of the computer screens, and into the real world.</p>
<p>Early Forms of Internet slang include words like: Noob or Flame. Which primary were single words used to describe someone of the perticular requirements. This short list, then gained a number of abbreviations, such as: Lol (lough out loud) or AFK (Away from Keyboard). At the time, these were used on social networking sites and instant messengers, as a way of saving time, and showing emotions.</p>
<p>Shortly after, Internet Slang was being used a lot more; and progressed past the stage of time saving. It was now a &#8216;language&#8217;, and people began using it, even in simple things like emails. However, it soon progressed passed this, and, as it is today, is used in actual conversations, as well as in writings and reports.</p>
<p>Despite all the above, a study was done on a group of students, and it was found that 90% of them, still used internet slang, far less than their normal english, and that they still had reasonably reading and spelling.</p>
<p>This has been axxy,</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Who said the Australian slang ain&#8217;t quite a fun? Here are the top four slang words and phrases. (not ordered/arranged).]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ol>
<li>
<p>When 	an Aussie tells you to move your fat date most of the times guess 	what the person was telling you. If you still don&rsquo;t get it I will 	give you the drum (a tip) : Imagine a cook (a wife) telling her 	husband to get off his fat date and to do something. However, if 	someone has told you that phrase then you are certainly guessing its 	meaning. The intonation helps.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Yeah, 	the rhyming slang. Who does not love it. Do you know Reg Grundy? He 	is one of the most successful Australian entrepreneurs and a popular 	media person. In a typical Aussie manner his nickname was Reg 	Grundies. It comes from undies, it does not aims at insulting him in 	any way. So they call their underpants &#8211; grundies.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Holey 	dooley! I almost forgot how much I like Australia : The Lucky 	Country. It can be defined in many ways, but the one I like the most 	is that the problems of the rest of the world are far from the 	country, and that is what makes it lucky.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>At 	this time of the day I would certainly enjoy vegging out. To veg up 	actually means to turn off in front of the TV literally as a 	vegetable.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>I got into writing this article inspired by the many interesting and new words I heard daily while at the uni of Melbourne. For the phrase <a href="http://www.homecleaningmelbourne.com.au/" target="_blank">end of lease cleaning Melbourne</a> surprised me again, as a week before I move I had hired end of tenancy cleaners. This was the least that made me do this research and try to find out the best words and phrases so that people, even move out <a href="http://www.homecleaningmelbourne.com.au/" target="_blank">cleaners in Melbourne</a>, can enjoy them. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Australia is a multilingual country. Still the official language is English. However, it has developed over the years to become almost a different language. The Australian speech can easily be understood and used once your recognise the three main techniques they use.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p>Abbreviating is the most common one. At first when I came to the university of Melbourne they called it the uni. This is not strange at all. Soon I started to enjoy their slang. However, some people find it annoying. Then when I was in need of end of tenancy cleaning I found out they call it <a href="http://www.homecleaningmelbourne.com.au/" target="_blank">end of lease cleaning Melbourne</a> thought me a lot of things in general and in life too. Another example that every person who has even once been at Australia surely knows is their &ldquo;g`day&rdquo;. Except watching a documentary we can all watch a doco.</p>
<p>Chopping the end of a word is common for the Aussie slang. Paul Hogan often instead of calling a person &ndash; suspect he called him a &ldquo;suss&rdquo;. It was used for suspicious situations as well.</p>
<p>The second method is to is to be more poetic. They often use metaphors and give a popular image that is recognised easily and is easy to self explain. Giving you the drum is like giving you a tip. This is not one of the most simple examples but is still a good one. <a href="http://www.homecleaningmelbourne.com.au/" target="_blank">Cleaners in Melbourne</a> said that the spots on the carpet cannot be cleaned because wasn&#8217;t actually a stain but a burn from a &ldquo;durry&rdquo; which means cigarette. After receiving the docket (the bill) I was quite amazed and I said &ldquo;Holy dooley&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Then, during the day we had a small glass of beer. They call it a pot. Still this small cup is to small to get rotten (drunk). But when I do I start jumping as a roo (kangaroo). Then I tee up with my friend who is a truckie.</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/09/25/corpse_1.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="351" /></p>
<p>This photo looks to be of a murder victim after being horrifically butchered, the victim gagged a large knife protruding from her side and covered in blood, but in fact the whole thing was set up by the hired killer to fool his client.&nbsp; Iranildes Araujo, the lady in question, was believed to be having an affair with the husband of Maria Simoes, who jealously paid a hit-man $500 to kill her supposed rival/</p>
<p>Problem was that killer Carlos de Jesus set eyes upon his target, he was smitten, told her about the contract then with the victim conjured up the staged killing to convince Maria that the job was done, but when she caught them smooching three days later the game was up.</p>
<p>Fashion industry language has become something of a mystery to &nbsp;ordinary British shoppers, according to major British retailer, fashion dictionaries a requirement nowadays. The reasons are simple, when you consider that, for instance, spants are actually harem pants, while swackets are sweater/jackets</p>
<p>Debenhams spokesman Ed Watson commented that some of the words used by industry commentators to describe garments are only properly understood by perhaps 5% of ordinary shoppers</p>
<p>When you consider that jorts are denim hot-pants; whorts are winter shorts for wearing with woollen tights, whilst mubes are maxi tube dresses, typical components of this secret fashion language, heavily criticized by linguistic purists.</p>
<p>It is true to say that both jeggings and mankinis, items worn in the film Borat &nbsp;were awarded places in the updated Oxford English Dictionary, though some kind of breakdown fashion dictionary needs to be produced, so that ordinary shoppers can get to grips with what they see on offer.</p>
<p>Scientists have rewritten human dispersal history around the globe, through analysis of an ancient lock of hair,&nbsp; piecing together Australian Aboriginal genome knowledge. DNA from it showed that other modern humans and indigenous Aboriginal Australians separated around 70,000 years ago, much earlier than anywhere else.</p>
<p>Existing theories that there had only been a single phase of dispersal from Africa appear to have been laid to rest, because whilst Aboriginal populations were moving into Australia, remaining humans were still in Africa and the Middle East for a further 40 to 50,000 years.</p>
<p>When they finally spread out and colonised Europe, indigenous Aborigines had been in Australia for 25,000 years, giving them the longest claim to the land in which they live of any other human population.</p>

<p>There was a new world record set on Thursday September 22nd 2011, when bride Elenia De Angelis wed in Italy with a veil on her wedding dress that measured a staggering three kilometers in length. Dozens of seamstresses spent months getting it ready, and hundreds of supporters helped out on the day, keeping the material off the ground, as they followed the slow-moving bridal car</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Essay: From More Prisoners of Eternity.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Polari (from the Italian Parlare: to speak) was the language of the English subculture. It was used throughout England but mainly in London where it was spoken by market traders, in fairgrounds, at dog tracks, and by the criminal fraternity. But it was within the homosexual community that it really took hold. It was a secret language designed to stay one step ahead of the law, and prior to the Sexual Offences of 1967, to be in a same sex relationship or have same sex encounters was a criminal offence, and one that the Police took particular relish in prosecuting.</p>
<p>To be arrested for a&nbsp;homosexual offence could break careers and&nbsp;destroy lives and for many marriage was a means whereby rumours about ones sexuality could be denied and gossip deflected; but it was an unhappy arrangement however, and for some was not even an option. More overtly effeminate men were&nbsp;particularly vulnerable to harassment and it was amongst this group that the use of&nbsp;polari became&nbsp;increasingly commonplace.</p>
<p>Amongst the upper-classes&nbsp;homosexuality was largely turned&nbsp;a blind-eye to and even indulged as long as those who were homosexual behaved with at least a modicum of discretion and were not caught in flagrante delicto. &nbsp;This was not the case for the middle classes or those who worked in the professions. Throughout the 1950&#8217;s and early 1960&#8217;s numerous, barristers, lawyers, teachers, doctors, and prominent men of business were arrested and saw their careers ended as a result of a homosexual indiscretion, and it was not uncommon for the wife of a homosexual man to cover for her husband to preserve the standard of living that he provided for herself and her family at a time when far fewer women were employed and those that were worked in poorly paid jobs devoid of prospects.</p>
<p>Within the working classes homosexuality was simply unacceptable. Anyone accused of a homosexual act&nbsp;would invariably be abandoned by his&nbsp;family, be&nbsp;ostracised by his local community, and live in constant fear of physical abuse. Known homosexuals would often be rounded up by the Police for random questioning whenever a sexual crime had been committed against a minor on the grounds that as &#8220;perverts&#8221; they were always likely suspects.</p>
<p>The decade prior to the 1950&#8217;s, however, had been a boom time for sexual activity of all kinds. The war years had witnessed a breakdown in the strict moral code that governed British behaviour and provided ample opportunity for people to indulge their sexual predilections. The number of young men, often from abroad, in uniform on Britain&#8217;s streets looking for a good time increased a thousand-fold. The black-out meant that there was very little chance of being caught. Indeed, it was possible to not even see the person you were having sex with and there was a sharp increase in gay and transvestite prostitution. Many a soldier was to find himself not only fleeced of his money&nbsp; but also&nbsp;to be the recipient of&nbsp;something other than what he thought he had paid for.</p>
<p>The coming of peace, however, saw a crackdown on the licentiousness of the war years and the thick moral blanket that had briefly been removed was swiftly reimposed. The Authorities were eager to stop what they perceived to be the slide into moral decay and their weapons were to be the Police and the Law. Censorship was enforced in the theatre, many Nightclubs were closed down, and homosexuality was forced back underground.</p>
<p>Among those prosecuted during this period were&nbsp;the brilliant mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing who had been awarded the OBE for his work at Bletchley Park during the war in cracking the German Enigma Code. In January, 1952, he reported a man he had met in Manchester, Arnold Murray, for breaking into his house. During their investigations however, the Police discovered that&nbsp;Turing and Murray had in fact been lovers. Both men were subsequently&nbsp;charged with acts&nbsp;of indecency under Section II of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885. The same law&nbsp;under which Oscar Wilde had been prosecuted. Found guilty, Turing, rather than go to prison, chose to undergo a course of chemical castration. Despite agreeing to participate in a course of treatment that was still in its experimental&nbsp;stage, Turing saw his life ruined.&nbsp;He lost his job at&nbsp;G.C.H.Q (The British centre for intelligence gathering) was&nbsp;refused entry to America to continue his work, and the public humiliation he found difficult to endure.&nbsp; On 8 June,&nbsp;1954, he committed suicide by taking a bite from an apple laced with cyanide.</p>
<p>Another prominent figure to fall foul of the law was the recently knighted actor, Sir John Gielgud. In 1953, he was arrested for cottaging in a Chelsea public lavatory. Convicted of lewd behaviour many, including himself, thought it would see the end of his career. But Sir John was from an old and distinguished theatrical family and the acting profession rallied around him. Even so, he avoided public appearances and turned down many screen roles for sometime to come and admitted to feeling personally humiliated by the experience for the rest of his life. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Homosexuality had once again been reduced to a clandestine activity committed at the dead of night in public parks, secret partitions in pubs known only to its clientele, and the locked basement rooms of nightclubs. As the Turing case had shown sex between consenting adults even in the privacy of ones own home was no protection against prosecution.&nbsp; Neither was fame and fortune and many prominent men including the playwright Noel Coward, the fashion photographer and costume designer&nbsp;Cecil Beaton, the composer Benjamin Britten, and the poet and war hero&nbsp;Siegfried Sassoon lived in constant fear of being exposed.</p>
<p>Secrecy then was paramount and consequently&nbsp;the 1950&#8217;s saw a revival in the use of Polari, many words of which such as blag, barney, clobber, khazi, naff, scarper, and strides&nbsp;have since become commonplace. It wasn&#8217;t ony used to fool the Authorities and within gay venues but was also a means by which gay people could meet one another outside of the usual haunts, it being assumed that only another homosexual would be familiar with the language.</p>
<p>Polari, however, became more widely known to the public when a segment of the popular Around the Horne Radio Show was devoted to the exploits of Julian and Sandy, two overtly camp men played by the actors Kenneth Williams and Hugh Paddick who regularly used Polari in their sketches.</p>
<p>Polari began to go out of fashion following the passage of the Sexual Offences Act of 1967, which&nbsp;became law following a series of successful Private Members Bills and&nbsp;passed by the Labour Home Secretary Roy Jenkins. It&nbsp;legalised same gender sex for consenting adults aged over 21 for the first time. &nbsp;With the legalisation of homosexuality&nbsp;a means by which gay people could communicate without fear harassment no longer seemed required.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Defintions included, due to the fact that you might not know, and I need to take up space. :D.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ol>
<li><strong>Pulchritudinous</strong>- (adj) physically beautiful. </li>
<li><strong>Syndicate</strong>- <strong>a.</strong> a group of individuals or organizations making a joint effort to carry out a task. <strong>b.</strong> a group of gangsters controlling organized crime in a region. </li>
<li><strong>Apathetic</strong>- Who cares what it means?</li>
<li><strong>Machiavellian</strong>- characterized by cunning, deceit, dishonesty, and any other trait referenced in Machiavelli&#8217;s <em>The Prince.</em></li>
<li><strong>Empathy</strong>- not to be confused the common, sympathy; empathy involves actually knowing someone&#8217;s pain and feeling it, not feeling sorry for someone in pain.</li>
<li><strong>Synthetic</strong>- unnatural; artificial. I&#8217;m a big fan of synthetic division for some reason. Don&#8217;t mock me; I actually had to use it for the first time in two years in Calculus yesterday. </li>
<li><strong>Facade</strong>- an illusion; something that seems to be better than it is. I really love this one because everyone pronounces it wrong the first time they see it. It&#8217;s fuh-sod. Not fack-aid.</li>
<li><strong>Macabre</strong>- gruesome or horrifying. (The pronunciation of this word, along with the one above, is macabre). Such a pleasant word, right? <img src='http://socyberty.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Notice how close it is to the Macarana. O.O</li>
<li><strong>Altercation</strong>- a heated or angry dispute. It just sounds so much more formal and emotionless this way, doesn&#8217;t it?</li>
<li><strong>Janky</strong>- of little value; falling apart; worthless; cheap; broken. I was seriously tempted to include this in a college application essay. What else would I use to describe a janky old corroded treehouse? </li>
