Pom

Pom: Prisoner Of Mother England, or alternatively, Prisoner Of her Majesty.

Suggestions that Pom comes from 'pomegranate' type references to sunburn are erroneous.

Used to refer to natives of England, or the United Kingdom more widely.

Sometimes used in a derogative manner; usually used as a term of endearment.

Australian 1- "Bloody hell cobber, looks like the poms have got the ashes for good now mate.'

Australian 2 - "Crikey! Too right, the poms are better than us at rugby as well!"

Australian 1 - "Strewth!"
