For all of us out here that have not gone very far below the equator, 
just what do you refer to when you call someone a "kiwi"?

Hello again,

A kiwi is a pet-name for a native of New Zealand. Named after our famous 
bird called the Kiwi.  This is a nocturnal bird with no wings.  It 
spends its night poking its long beak around the forest floor for 
insects and grubs, etc..   Beats me why NZ'ers get called kiwis.  I am 
only an honourary kiwi though.  (British born but lived in New Zealand 
since 1972. age 1)

Doug.
