Which leads me to wonder, though, if "boosters" is a known and used term in New Zealand in a human context. Human boosters are fans of something. We (in the US) refer to "athletic boosters" when we are referring to fans that support the team, and do so by more than just cheering. An athletic booster may donate money to a university team to pay for scholarships or improvements of the athletic facilities. A turbo-booster makes your car go faster. A rocket booster makes your rocket accelerate faster. Children ride in a booster seat. Weak signels are regenerated by a signal booster. When stopping, drivers are assisted by a brake booster. -- Regards, Eric Stevens

I replied too early in the morning. No, that wasn't the explanation. Tony is right. The first time I read it I took 'booster' to be a slang term for tele-extender. -- Regards, Eric Stevens

Yes, I know all of those meanings. My question, though, was whether humans are called "boosters" in New Zealand. No, not generally. You are quite right: that was the meaning I missed when I first replied. I thought it referred to tele-extenders or similar. -- Regards, Eric Stevens

Same here, but a friend of my wife's thought my car had some form of turbo-booster when all it was that I knew how to use the 5-speed gearbox of my Honda Accord. -- Regards, Eric Stevens
