In one of the patsy questions in the house on Thursday, the minister for Maori Development was asked about how the budget was helping. She used lots of Maori words and strung it all together but ended saying that the best outcome, the one she was most pleased about, was
It is so sad when older folk attempt to be ‘down with the kids’ and add new ‘cool’ terminology to their speech without really understanding what they are saying. Here is a great example in this tweet from Andrew Little: And for those who are Netflix and Chilling … Twitter Noun:
