A Timwae Moment is when somebody makes a joke in a group of friends which they think is funny, but no one else does or no one in
the group understands it, and so they laugh at
that person.
Originated in mid 2021 as a way to bag your mates.

difference between a brick and a ranga?"
*Silence amongst the group*
