"Crack tubes!" *fffffttt!!!* "Now I call upon Bruce to officially welcome Mr. Baldwin to the philosophy faculty."
"I'd like to welcome the Pommy bastard to God's own Earth, and remind him that we don't like stuck-up sticky-beaks here."
"Hear, hear! Well spoken, Bruce!"

To: Boiler Plate
There is a theory it stems from the earliest days of European settlement in Australia.
Being a pommy penal colony, the prisoners wore "Prisoner of Her Majesty" or "POHM" on their back.

Aha. Thanks for clearing that up. I was thinking "pomfret", and couldn't figure out how that would apply to the British...

Prisoner of Her Majesty" or "POHM" on their back.Bloody lot of codswallop, that, my Dasher.
FY BLoody Info, Mate. Dates from THe Great War, Tommy Atkins was always asking the Frogs for "Pommes Frites," or chips with everything. So the Anzacs took to calling them Bloody Pommies, or Poms.
Now don't get your bloody knickers in a knot, wasn't I bloody there? I bloody well was.

"Bloody"?
That's not even considered profanity here in the States. Like "shag" or "bugger".

Given that the Poms have exported billboards proclaiming 'FCUK' to the world, buggered if I know why they're carrying on about "bloody".
Dopey bastards!

A "Pom" is someone of English birth or immediate heritage.We call them Limeys.
Just like we're called Yanks. (Even though some of us resent that term - we prefer "Johnny Reb")
