Well in 'Uncle Monkey' there is a kind of sub-culture....a kind of language of their own. If you hang around with them long enough you are bound to learn! They would appreciate if you jumped on the 'band wagon' and started saying the following terms so that when you meet them...they will be able to understand you.
Click on a word if it is underlined to hear the saying.

• schwat
  The current No.1. Just like saying sweet but with an emphasis on 'at' as in cricket bat. When things are good this is what just pops out spontaneously! Said many a time in the south island during July 2000!

• jessie
  The story behind this goes as follows. There is someone who lives up the road from us and calls out at the top of their lungs at all hours of the day...Jessie. They are either calling a dog or a cat with the deepest of tones. Very deep...as if through a megaphone!!!

• store
  Just say it spontaneously whenever and wherever you feel like it. Short for story as in "whats the story?" Store? - whats up. Past tense; store - what happened? Crucial question as to the existence of life itself.
