Auntie Hiding Boss Bro Tip Chur Bro Ow (the starter or ending phrase) Cool story! Yeah nah / nah yeah Sweet as! Munted / Munter Hooray, you’ve learnt some more nz slang
There's so much hory slang and most of it is just specific to hoods or slum towns like, bei and bo/bol. Don't know if you mentioned it but Sweet As can be shortened to Sweet.
Some of these are regional (Auntie, Chur, Ow) or gender-specific (Boss (Chief is also used)). And Cool Story is basically a full-on insult these days (which is completely fine is many situations, but not all!).
As someone over 70 who has lived in West Auckland all my life, I can say I have NEVER heard anyone say "chur". I have only ever seen it written as a NZ word on TH-cam.
@@flamencoprof I’m saying It’s more generational, used more by people in their 30’s-20’s. It’s used all over the country just by a younger demographic.
@@Maiier Well, over the years I have been to sports clubs, bars, etc, but I will accept maybe my age is a factor. None of my kids or grandkids have used the term either, so IDK. Cheers! or should that be Chur?
Hearing someone try to explain "ow" is hilarious.
It's not easy eh?

Spend 4 weeks working with tradies and you will learn more slang than there are words in the original English dictionary
Chur! Sweet as boss!
I've never heard a female use "boss" in this way. Males, yes - frequently. But haven't heard a female use it.
Munter. Gold

If you’ve lived in West Auckland thats probably why, chur is probably one of the most common slangs of the 2000’s.
@@Maiier Are you saying it's a regional term? That's fine. What region?

@@flamencoprof Its an age factor but it might also be an ethinicty factor as well. A lot of Maori and islanders use the word
