I read recently of a foreign visitor to Auckland airport who kept hearing bizarre announcements for a passenger to make their way to the π˜”π˜Ίπ˜΄π˜΅π˜ͺ𝘀 𝘊𝘩π˜ͺ𝘀𝘬𝘦𝘯.
It took them some time to realise the kiwi announcer was asking the passenger to go to Domestic Check-in. πŸ˜‚
@KiwiEV Years ago, I had a guy next door to me who was from rural Virginia. One day he told me to turn right, not left, when I came to the main road our dead end street intersects. He said there was a birdcage in the road if I turned left. I said, "Birdcage?" He said it again, there was a birdcage in the main road if you went left. Baffled, I asked him again about "birdcage." He paused and then very slowly and carefully said, "Barr-i-cades." I burst out laughing and thanked him for the heads up!
