	i think for "gumboots" you should accept something like "rain boots" as well. i don't even know what "wellingtons" are. also, i've been to NZ so i typed in "singlet" right away for wifebeater, but lots of people outside of NZ won't know what a singlet is. in the States, a singlet is like one of those spandex one-piece outfits that wrestlers wear. we would call your "singlet" a tank top, or sleeveless shirt.

	As a kiwi, I found this quiz hard for the reason that I didn't know how to translate them into other-English. Also I'd never heard of 'wop-wops'. Other common slang are "can't handle the jandal" and "Rotovegas."

	A few of the words, such as cheerio, are barely used at all in New Zealand. And a few of the words aren't slang, they are from the Maori language. And finally the second kiwi is just a definition.

	As a kiw, I also found this hard to translate to 'non-kiwi'. For bach, you should accept beach house.' and I don't know anyone who uses sparrows fart or wifebeater. I thought wifebeater was Australian. Also had no idea how to translate ice block.
