QUESTION

How can you tell the difference between an Australian and New Zealand accent?

ANSWER

One day in the office, my colleague Lily from New Zealand asked me to pass her the pin on my desk.
I looked all over my desk and eventually found a pin lying in a corner.
As I was delivering the pin to her desk, I thought, why does she need a pin? More importantly, how on earth did she see that tiny pin at the corner of my desk?
Lily: ‘Why are you giving me that? I asked for a pin!’
Me:  ‘This is a pin!’
Lily: ‘No, a PIN! To write!’
Me:  ‘That’s a PEN!’
Lily: ‘Yeah, a PIN!’
Me:  (Holds up the pin) ‘What do you call this then?!’
Lily: ‘That is a pin!’
That, ladies and gentlemen, is the moment I learned to distinguish between Aussie and Kiwi accent.
