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)
