A pikau is a New Zealand English term for a makeshift knapsack or pack — the kind of improvised carry-on you'd strap together from what's available when heading into the bush or out on the farm. Borrowed from Māori, it reflects the deep influence of the Māori language on everyday New Zealand English. While the term might be considered somewhat old-fashioned today, it's culturally significant and still recognized, particularly in rural and outdoor contexts.
A small fuzzy toy, popularized during wartime.
