The 9-year-old boy was asked to write down 10 Maori words as part of his studies into the country's native language. But it appeared he could only muster four Maori words before turning to popular vocabulary. He continued with "cuz", "nek minnit", "Black Power" and "churr". The popular phrase "nek minnit" was coined by Levi Hawkin who is a skater in South Auckland. The boy's mother posted a photo of the list to social media - and it went viral.
