Waikikamukau (/waɪkɪkɑːmuːkaʊ/, as if saying "Why kick a moo cow") is a generic name for a small rural town or locality in New Zealand.
It has a similar connotation to the New Zealand slang Wop Wops[1] and the Australian term Woop Woop and other appellations such as the "Boondocks" or "Timbuktu".
Waikikamukau is reputed to specifically refer to the town of Waipukurau in the North Island.
The origins are hazy but one account is that the American servicemen stationed in NZ during the Second World War found it difficult to pronounce the place name and thus jokingly called it Waikikamukau.
Waikikamukau was also used as the setting for a Nickelodeon telemovie, Rocket Power: Race Across New Zealand.
