What's there to get?  Australia = Kiwi which = New Zealand.  Seems pretty basic to me.

It looks very offensive. Never do this.

I'm sorry, are you telling me that New Zealand is NOT one of the states of Australia? 

 

You sure about that?

 

Spoiler

Of course it's not a state in Australia...  It's one of its provinces, duh.

Pssst. It was a joke directed at the folks who honestly think New Zealand is part of Australia.

 

Maybe not a great joke, but a joke nonetheless.

 

(I would have thought the mock confusion over state/province would have made it obvious, myself )

Finland and New Zealand are indeed not real.  Not sure why this is even discussion tbh

Did you tell this kind of joke to New Zealanders (face to face, of course)?

Since I would be directing it at clueless Americans, probably not.  If I had a friend from New Zealand that I was on fairly good terms with and we knew each other's sense of humor AND they knew that I was mocking Americans, not them, then, sure, maybe.

 

Context matters, as it does for most things.

3- What about Helsinki? That is an enormous city on the world stage.

A. Helsinki is located in Eastern Sweden.

I knew it! The Swedish Empire never went away.

I thought New Zealand was an Australian colony, tbh.

So certified fresh is looking increasingly likely?

I don't see how it is offensive to say, your country does not exist, jokingly. Even if that person does not know me.

In your "purple world" context works for N-word?

Dude, if someone call me "russian" I just punch in this fucking face. Don't wait a minute.

 

 

I don't know how it works in NZ))
