    Is it correct to call only New Zealanders "Kiwis," or can I call yous guyses "Kiwis," too? I've just been going with "Aussies" for you, and it's a pain in the butt to stop and remember who's from where.

    Mostly it's the Keith Urban Vs Karl Urban thing that's giving me fits. :klingon:

    Thankee!

    I'm not Australian, but "Kiwi" only applies to New Zealanders.

    Oh, noes. I forgot the spray the "Anti Canadian spray" in the thread. ;):lol:

    Yeah, I was pretty certain it was only for New Zealanders, but my liberal guilt won't allow me to unknowingly offend anyone.

    Except Canadians. :devil:

    Only New Zealanders are called Kiwis. they are a seperate nation though some do say that all the New Zealanders who moved to Australia improved the average IQ of both countries :).

    The Kiwi is the national bird of New Zealand.

    Australians think New Zealanders are sheep shaggers.

    South Africans thinking Australians (Aussies) are sheep shaggers.

    And Mainland Australians think that Tasmanians all have two heads.

    Most Tasmanians have the second head removed. It has been a long time since I actually laid eyes on a two-headed Tasmanian. We have the world's best head removal surgeons.

    I, myself, was not born with two heads because my mother was from Queensland and therefore I wasn't interbred enough, unlike full-blooded Tasmanians.

    Whenever I buy kiwi's, they're always from New Zealand, never from Australia. :)

    Actually the best organic apples at our store here in Canada are from New Zealand, so the conversation does get a little confusing when I say "look for the Kiwis" :)

    And CD, where's the difficulty? - there's Karl Urban, and some other guy no-one cares about... :p

    Well the Austrlian media does but I think they took more notice of him after he married Nicole Kidman.

    As others have said New Zealands are calling "Kiwis" or sheep shaggers.
