The name given to the gimp at the end of the bar who now thinks he’s a connoisseur of beer having switched from Carling to Madri

Get the Madri mug.Māori translates to natural or normal. When Europeans arrived in New Zealand, the natives had to come up with a way of defining themselves so they became known as Māori. This is because to themselves they were normal, while the Europeans became known as Pākehā, or foreign. Māori is also the name of the native language spoken by Māori people.
Someone who has Māori ancestors is considered to me Māori.
Māori is an official language of New Zealand.

Get the Māori mug.* A person who originates from Polynesia, and settled in New Zealand before the Medieval ages.
* A New Zealander
I believe this definition has been hit by the national front, or some bored helpless cases. I have some sense.

Get the maori mug.New Zealand indigenous race, who migrated here between 900-1100AD. Were amazing warriors and navigators, the 28th Maori Battalion of the World Wars was praised by other countries as one of the best forces in the world. Maori are also credited for the invention of the modern war paradigm of trench warfare, invented during the New Zealand wars.
The main discrepency with Maori and non-Maori of NZ is the issue of the Treaty of Waitangi, which was written in two languages, and both hold differing meanings. The Human Rights Commission states that if such discrepencies exist, the indigenous version is to be deemed the official version. Of course the government ignored this. If you don't know the differences, read the Treaty (there are translations of both versions) and make your own decision. Know also that the single largest demographic on government benefits is white pensioners. Not maori "dole bludgers". Note also maori die younger and receive less treatment than non-maori for things like heart disease. So do not say Maori receive more 'privileges' than pakeha. My Uni fees are the same as everyone else. And for all of you who hate Maori but still do the haka at drunnken parties and wear taonga when you go overseas, you are dishonouring our culture with your two-faced visage.
For those who think we are getting unfair benefits, do some homework and learn the history. Parihaka, Orakei, there are many examples of travesties of justice by the Crown. The Tohunga Suppression Act, The Maori Land Court, shocking acts of injustice. Learn your history.

Foreigner: Hey thats a cool necklace! What does it mean?
Pakeha: I don't know. Its Maori though.
Foreigner: Mean tattoo, what is it?
Pakeha: Um....
Foreigner: Do you do the haka?
Pakeha: Yep! But...I don't know what that means either...

Get the litty madriddy mug.A overrated soccer team who thinks they're good because they pay refs to help them win but got kicked out of Copa Del Rey by Celta Vigo and they say it's an easy tournament but how come they're not in it? And they also call Barcelona(best in the world) "Uefalona even though the refs make calls against them and for madrid. Their attack is so weak they need a defender to score for them, their attack is made up of Ronaldo, the guy who misses open nets and dives and takes penalties to win, an overly aggresive monkey (Bale) and Benzema, who just speaks for himself.
