Kia Ora

"Spare some change?" or "Got some smokes?" Polite phrase used by New Zealanders when begging for something like money or cigarettes. Literally, from Maori, "where's my gift?"

The correct response is to reply in the same way, cancelling out the other request.
"Kia ora, bro, that's an awesome bottle of beer, eh"? Kia ora, bro, you can chuck it at a car when I'm finished, eh"?
