Kiwi English vernacular for rural regions of bush and scrub land with farms and farmland being broken in. Usually difficult of access because only serviced by loose metal roads (gravel roads) that are narrow and dusty. Rough country farms with few and large paddocks inhabited by few people.
Not to be confused with back-block, which is the last paddock on the farm to have been broken into farmland.

The farm is in the back-blocks beyond Welsford (town in New Zealand).

Get the pee block mug.A cock block is when you're bricked up and about to lay some pipe, but somebody interrupts it right before it's about to happen.
So a Kahk Block would be like when an opposing player is about to get lucky, and then Kahkonen comes sliding in with the desperation save and keeps us (the wild) from getting fucked

Get the Smock blocked mug.A term used in the popular board game known as Settlers of Catan, when one player blocks and steals from another player (using the robber) primarily because that player has a reputation for being really good at the game. It's typically most obvious this has been done when the player being blocked has been chosen over another player in the game who is a more immediate threat.
However, reputation blocks are not exclusive to the player's reputation. Some strategies have a reputation for being more effective than others in Catan. For example, a strategy known as OWS (ore wheat sheep) or SBS (side by side) can both be very effective strategies. If a player using one of these well known strategies is blocked, because of the strategy being used, instead of another person in the game who has a stronger position, this is also considered reputation blocking.
Reputation blocking is most commonly an action taken by novice player's who haven't yet learnt how to play Catan well. This move is also severely frowned upon by highly skilled, established players in competitive Catan leagues. Primarily because it is illogical and does very little to help the player performing block win the game.

Red Player: Why did you just block me? Orange is winning!
Blue Player: Because its you!
Red Player: That's a reputation block! You're going to make us both lose the game with moves like that.

Get the reputation block mug.This happens when another customer or a store employee leaves their cart in front of the product, or "stock" shelf that you need something from. Some grocery stores "stock block" themselves by setting up a temporary display in front of other items.
It sucks when you're in a rush to get some things from the store on your way home from work, and the aisles are full of people and their giant shopping carts, packed high and full, stock blocking the few things you came to pick up!

Get the stock blocking mug.Kinda like cockblocking but different: when you have a roommate who's always in the shower when you badly need to use the toilet.
When I got home from class yesterday I really needed to drop a deuce but as usual, my telepathic roomie was toilet blocking me so I had to poop in my trash can.
