Is there even a word like Waikikamukau? Yup there is! You’d be surprised where it’s used…New Zealand! It is jokingly pronounced as “Why kick a moo cow?” (a kids blog reader has pointed out that the real pronounciation is Wai(Why) Ki(Key) Ka(Car) Mu(Moo) Kau(Ko): Why-Key-Car-Moo-Ko) and is an expression here in New Zealand to refer to a particularly remote rural town.
Here’s a very odd one, in the 19th century a French mime artist accidentally got stuck in his imaginary glass box and starved to death! Hmmmm something to think about…
If you’d like to know more amazing and cool stuff check out the book Why You Need a Passport When You’re Going to Puke by Mitchell Symons. Enjoy!
i dont get it.
Wikikamukau…….cos you can’t boot a bull
It’s “on the way to Tirau, by the old road”, everybody knows that 😉
I don’t get the French mime artist one. No one is probably going to see this (except for me when I write it and check back to see if anyone DOES see it) but if you do please explain.
