> Jamie Neale, 19, told Australia’s “60 Minutes” television program Sunday that he was “a total idiot” to venture unprepared into the Blue Mountains, 60 miles (100 kilometers) west of Sydney...
Nope. Not an idiot, just a typical Pom. We’re used to them DownUnder, that’s why nobody here is sweating about it.
Obviously that assertion is untrue. After all, “60 minutes” is sweating about it.
And by the by, who’s the bigger idiot? The 19 year old who gets himself lost and nearly dead in the mountains, or the people who pay him $200,000 to tell about it?
Pom according to the dictionary is a demeaning word for a British person in Austraila.
Does it stand for anything in particular?
