All Blacks, All Whites, Tall Blacks: Americans who aren't familiar with New Zealand sport may do a double take when hearing these names for the first time. Steven Adams learned very quickly that certain Kiwi colloquialisms just don't translate in the US. @KennyDucey I'm a kiwi, what's wrong with saying monkeys? Even if one of these terms is used stateside, the Kiwi ability to have a fruitful dialogue about slang and what it means often impresses, if not charms, others. But hey, I'm looking forward to a tramp in the bush this weekend out along the West Coast.
