Kiwi colloquial speech competition



PM instructs private school in English level 2



Bats... and the PM:

Founded in 1896, St Hida's Collegiate School has grown into a successful and progressive institution promoting Christian values and academic excellence. Saint Hilda's Collegiate School is a girls' secondary school in Dunedin, New Zealand. Founded as an Anglican school in 1896 by the first bishop of Dunedin, Bishop Samuel Tarratt Nevill and staffed by the Sisters of the Church. Wikipedia

This was the private [but State funded] school that the PM was visiting, the PM is known to prefer private schools because they have smaller classes and higher standards. It was to this group that the PM gave his verbal demonstrational lesson in and of Kiwi colloquial speech.

“It was reported by Radio New Zealand that he made the comment to a group of students at St Hilda's Collegiate in Dunedin last Friday. According to the report, Mr Key said Beckham was handsome and nice but was also "as thick as batshit".  

When questioned in Parliament he denied saying the s word…so what did he say…he says he can’t remember…but we do know that the children giggled…so to this week’s competition.

Your task should you accepted is to select the word he might have used…so here is the overheard sentence again, leaving out the word he can’t remember, simply put in the word you think he might have used…below are some words that may get your mind freed up for the task.

Send me an email of your selected word so I can compile a master list
