In reply to:

I note that "Antipodean" gets similar results!

For us Kiwis, and most especially for me, living as I do here: Location: 39'39" South 176'52" East, the ayleur closest to being truly Antipodean is Juanmaria, not the Prisoners of Mother England who coined the phrase, heedless of the geographical innacuracies they lumbered it with. As to being offended, I'm not in the least troubled by the feeble efforts of bottom-dwelling Northerners to make themselves feel better than those of us (CK, Phyllis, stales, etc.) who live up here at the top of the world.
