Can you accept beer for Grog? I don't think when people say "Ave a Grog." they are saying "Have an alcohol."

Lol, and your quiz is like compatible to mine :D! http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/6945/australian-slang

Is the quiz maker actually from NZ?? Seriously cocky means arrogant, sook means wimp or acting like a girl, dag means idiot. I had no idea what you wanted for bach, down south we call them cribs. Knackered I tried buggered and stuffed. You need to have more options for the answers because it's like trying to mindread.

From a NZer.

I know this is late, sorry, just got back onto JetPunk. But yes I am from NZ though I am from the North Island which may be where the differences are. I added in some of your suggestions as acceptable answers though, thanks! And as for cocky; It means both, but I was looking for the 'farmer' answer. We have a radio show on our local radio called the Cocky's Hour. It usually refers to dairy farmers.

I've never heard anyone in New Zealand say whopper, or dunny, or cocky meaning a farmer.

To me, dag means joker, someone who is classic, hilarious, a real crack-up. (not idiot).

I'm from NZ too - I thought cocky meant up themselves, but I was kicking myself for not getting farmer. That's defs a correct answer

To help with people questioning the legitimacy of 'cocky.'

In my experience cocky is a common term in rural communities. It refers to any farmer but due to the increase in dairy farming is most commonly used to describe them as a 'cow cocky.' The word is actually of Australian origin, because early Australian farmers had so many Cockatoo's on their farms they were said to be farming them instead of livestock.

I should have got farmer for cocky, but I tried everything else: arrogant, cheeky, boastful, conceited, vain, rude, showoff, confident, bold, smug, haughty, insolent...

Nice quiz! Although i only got 24/31. Could you please allow holiday home for bach and wimp for sook? You say "He's a sook" but "He's a scared" doesn't really make sense...

Also please feel free to try my NZ Slang quiz. https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/252498/nz-slang-words
