Kiwi - there is polish joke about it: Kiwi kiwi kiwi. Yes, it makes
some sense, yes, it is funny.
No, I cannot explain it without long lecture about declension, etc.
BTW: there is another version of same joke: Zombie zombie zombie.

As an Australian I can vouch for the veracity of the noted definition of the
word 'root', although I would also suggest that this usage was almost always
confined to a younger generation and seems to be someone one grows out of. :-)
Then there is the standard Aussie joke we tell about Kiwi's (another slang word
for people from New Zealand, and also a small flightless bird that ferrets
around in the undergrowth for food):
"I'd like to be a Kiwi, 'cos he eats roots and leaves".
Cheers - Mike
