During work over here a few years ago I was talking to a guy about selling stuff to cash coverters which had turned out to be a bad idea. I said you really shouldn't have "flogged" the stuff. He kept saying "I never stole it", this went on a few times with the guy getting more agitated. Someone pointed out that to some Kiwi's "Flog" can mean to steal rather than meaning to sell. He thought I was accusing him of stealing the stuff he sold.
Mind you I usually see as being in the English sense to sell mostly over here. Eg, "Government is flogging state assets..." Maybe it was a Pacific Island thing rather than a Kiwi thing.
I've always thought of it as selling something (or whipping).
Mind you the English have three different names for dinner depending on which part of the country you come from or what your class is.
(It's just f*cking dinner OK? - Evening meal, formal or informal, late or early)
lol where I come from lunch was called Dinner and the evening meal was called Tea.
Lunch was also called "Docky", but that has pretty much died out now. It was last really used by my Dad's generation, (folk in their 70's and older), and known to my own but not really used after the 1970's.
Fred: "Wat u got fur y'docky Aff?"
Arthur (Aff): "Luuvly bit of am un pickle Freh"
Other terms:
Sqwab - A small bird
Slub - Mud
Aff: "Fred, yu int shaarp! Git owt of t'ouse wiv ur boots! ur all sluubed up!"
(Fred have you lost your mind? Please leave the house and kindly remove your footwear they appear to be soiled with mud)
