If you had to take your pick of quintessential Kiwi words - what would you pick?
Kiwi wordsmith and Listener's books editor Mark Broatch has taken on the mammoth task of choosing the top 100 words - and phrases - that really represent what it means to be from this land. His book is called 100 Words That Make Us Kiwi.
From the classics like "she'll be right", "yeah nah" and "bugger", to the insults like "egg", "hua" and "skody".
Mark's also included words with big ideas, events or themes behind them, things like "1080", "nuclear free" and "Think Big".
He joins Kathryn to talk about the different ways these words, phrases and expressions have come to encompass our history, culture and sense of national pride.
