Pig Islandernoun Australian / NZ derogatoryA person from New Zealand: if you want a smack in the mouth, call one of the locals a Pig Islander...- He stayed here to become, as he says himself, more pig-islander than the pig-islanders.
- "Hullo mate, Pig Islander? How long have you been here?"
- We kept the exchange going for as long as we could before we ran out of pig islander words.
