    I’m a cultural Kiwi and don’t recognize half of these.

    In the case of dunny, I was trained on calling it the loo.

      Fossicking and skerrig are related to mining activities, so may be more localized to areas were the gold rush was big. I confirmed they’re actual words.

          Yeah, in between the gold rush in San Fransisco, and the gold rush in British Columbia.

      My kids and I use dunny now because of Bluey.
