<i>...the point of celebrating a war crime.</i>
If the UK hadn't engaged in war crimes of that type they'd have lost the war*
(*Or made it continue until either the Red Army reached the Seine, or Oppy's boys and girls finished their work and Berlin got turned into vapour).

Boomer!
I've heard this relatively frequently in Auckland. Not everyday useage, but relatively frequently.

Not worth getting dragged into this debate, unless you enjoy pointless death spirals.....

Rich Lock - intriguing. I'd never heard the word on the east side (my mother said that it was current during her youth =1930s) but it was common on the Coast in the 1970s, fading away by the mid 1980s. Havent heard it since then.

Now that my memory has been a bit more jogged, I've remembered that I've only ever heard it from one guy (albeit on many separate occasions), and he's from the 'Naki originally.

nobody, but nobody, says "Boomer!" anymore
I've heard boomer used in a sort of slang portmanteau: 'boomer, bonza, box of birds!'
-
Havent heard bonza since I was a kid, but still hear
"How yer?"
"Box a birds." Pause. "All shitnfeathers..." -
Channelling Grandad
My grandfather, bless him, used to answer any mystery telling us "the Chinaman did it".
"Who?" we'd ask. "Yes that's him" he'd reply.
Rather more recently, I interviewed Benji Marshall a couple of seasons back, after a leg injury sustained playing the Dragons.
I was suggesting it was bad luck following his many shoulder injuries. As Benji put it..."I must have killed a Chinaman or something, I don't know if I've broken any mirrors, someone's probably got one of them voodoo dolls stabbing me in the leg now, they used to stab me in the shoulder now they're getting me in the leg".
