Regional Dialect Meme- NZ Accent


Please see above for my contribution to the regional dialect meme that is saturating the blogosphere at present! I've watched a lot of them over the past week or so, and my two favourites are this one by Kaelah at Little Chief Honeybee, and another by Lauren on her blog called Please Note- they both have adorable accents! I really hate my voice and my accent, so excuse me for cringing a lot during this video... Below is the list of words and the questions- please link me to your video if decide to make one, or already have made one!

Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught, Orange, Coffee, Direction, Naturally, Aluminium, Herbs

Questions:
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
