A uniquely Kiwi, Māori-twisted way of saying fucking, used to add extra spice, attitude, or emphasis to whatever someone is ranting about. Perfect for when regular swearing just doesn’t quite capture the full level of exasperation, disbelief or general cooked-ness of a situation in Aotearoa.
“Bro, the cops were moving whākn' slow today.”

Get the Whākn' mug.Whaun, a happy , annoying but energetic child. Whaun's play football and love chicken nugget pot-pie (if it were ever a thing). Whaun is also the best child in the universe and has a brother...... Whaun is the parent's favorite child and loves flexing about to his brother. He is a total rule follower when it comes to the silence game and always listens to his parents.

Get the Whadn’t mug.Not to be confused with whak, whak? (with question mark) is short for "what the fuck?" It first appeared in this context on 30 Rock on 3/25/2010, and was uttered by the inimitable Tina Fey, expressing disbelief. It is also ideally suited for Twitter, collapsing 14 characters into 5. Finally, it requires no additional modifiers, standing on its own.
Whak? As in, what the fuck?
