That's stealing. I demand an awesome Kiwi pejorative as fair exchange.

I'll offer a few and see if any stick. Shit they might be common place for you. The King of Kiwi insults is surely:

"Egg" - Possibly it benefits from our blunt accents, but it really does make the target feel like an idiot. Example - "Oi did you hear James got caught shoplifting?" - "Aye? Fuckin' egg" - "I know aye. Complete egg".

Just picture any of these kids calling you an egg. It's.. enough to make me squirm.

Others include, Tō Raho, munter, muppet, dickhead, mong.

I will accept "munter" as fair trade for "shitcamel." Thanks for your business, citizen.

Egg is a personal favorite for insults, it’s so disarming and unexpected. What does Tō Raho mean?

Essentially it means Dickhead!

Best muttered under one's breath.
