Beaky | Saturday, January 26, 2008 |
Simon was reading the paper this morning and asked me what a stickybeak is and I had never realised that this may not be used in England as it is not a word I use much. After all this time there are still lots of Australian words to confuse me, and even more for Simon.
There is a lot of language shared between Australia and New Zealand, maybe more shared than not, exceptions granted for jandals and chilly bins.
How to describe it? Apparently nosey-parker or busybody will do although one source rated it as more negative in Australia than New Zealand. Maybe kiwis are more relaxed about other’s interest in them.
