Well this is what alt.games.diablo added, for your interest;

************
Chilly bins = Esky

This can't be right -- if you hear "chilly bins" from a Kiwi,
they must have been referring to certain small confectionery
items. :)

Cheers,
Geoff.

okay, thats the spelling, the pronunciation is more like chully buns  ;p

Greetings all,

I'm compiling a list of all the Kiwi (New Zealand) words and or 
pronunciations that sometimes have travelers scratching there heads.

So for those who have come in to contact with a Kiwi, or any Kiwis who 
have traveled, what are the words that got you laughed at, or vicaversa?

For example;
Fish and Chips, or in Kiwi Speak Fush and Chups

Cheers to all and anywho help :o)
