Theme Party... and What NOT to Say...

Before I went on holiday to Australia, I went to an 80's aerobics theme party for a friend's birthday.  Her and her husband go to ReChurch and are super into themed parties, which is great because it has been a really great way to connect with people that they work with and are friends with outside the Christian circle.  I have gotten to know them pretty well over the past few months I have been in NZ and so when they invited me to the party, I was so pumped.  I love theme parties.

Well, someone at the party was wearing what Americans would call a 'fanny pack'... see below:


Well, don't ever tell any Kiwi, especially a male Kiwi, that you really really like their fanny pack.  'Fanny' to Kiwi's means 'vagina'...

You can tell how confused I was when I was getting crazy looks from the guy at the party and how embarrassed I was when I was corrected by an American that has been living in NZ for quite some time... I need to watch what I say...
