      They say “LILILILILILI!” Then cut your throat with a thrown chakram that bounced off the throat of the guy beside you.

      They do speak English, but in spoken Kiwi, they convert 75% of their vowels to a short i.

          All our vowels are just “u” (or schwa as I was once told).

          • Nuw Zulund
          • Fush und chups
          • Uh nu, u’m buchd, u’m buchd us.
