Pom may have had a meaning once, other that being dried potato product, but in the kiwi form of colloquial english it means someone from england. However, since many kiwis dont actually know where england is (a land mass overseas - some have been known to think that london and england are the same place), it is often used here to mean anyone from GB who doesnt have a strong irish accent. When a non-english accent is detected you will often hear the kiwi phrase "where are you from then", then their eyes will glaze over and they will nod their heads like they really do know where you are from - in reallity, they are working out if its close to london.

Some kiwi rugby supporters have seemed to pick up on the fact that wales and scotland are different places because some kiwi rugby players have gone there, although they often struggle to deal with the extra cognition required and carry on referring to everyone as a pom; this is the same as us english people calling everyone a kiwi even tho they may be from some other place such as germany of fiji or south africa and australia.

Scotland would still be a Third World Country without England.

ONLY 5 MIN`S OLD COMPARED TO THE GOOD OLD ENGLAND
AND THERE IS NO TRUE NEW ZEALANDER EVERYONE HERE IS A IMAGRANT OR FROM ONE

[Oscar]

My Penguin English Dictionary says:

To be fair, the Australian Slang Dictionary says "...English Person."


So I went to the online Oxford and got this:

Pommy(also Pommie)

• noun (pl. Pommies) Austral./NZ informal, derogatory a British person.

— ORIGIN said by some to be short for pomegranate, as a near rhyme to immigrant.

An interesting variation on the origin of the word.

ONLY 5 MIN`S OLD COMPARED TO THE GOOD OLD ENGLAND
AND THERE IS NO TRUE NEW ZEALANDER EVERYONE HERE IS A IMAGRANT OR FROM ONE

Very true.

I was born in England in an area that has variously been Pict, Celtic, Roman, Viking, Norman, Scots and probably a few others into a family with a Scots name on one side Anglo-Irish on the other and one Irish great grandparent and one Jewish, I was brought up in Sydney and then Hamilton....
We're all mongrels.

Married a Pom..! Not a bad sort of a bird really..! We went back there to live in 2000 I took a job with the local airline and was based in Newcastle. I had a good time (Liked that Nukey Brown) along with the kids but poor old mum just hated being back there and rediscovered all the reasons she left in the first place. I must admit it was bloody cold and miserable in the winter though I found the Geordies to be a great bunch. So here we are back in Kiwi via Indonesia and Australia.

It's funny coz there aint no-one around that can truthfully say they aren't a bitsa of some sort...

Chicks running around in belts and 'kini tops in the middle of winter... They sure do breed the georgy lasses hard... enough to get any man in trouble
