“This nation was settled by prisoners, by the way.”
Their nickname was POME’s
Prisoners
Of
Mother
England
Pom or Pommy is an Australian derogatory slang for an English person. I believe it originates from P.O.H.M. Stamped on the prisoners uniforms. That stood for Prisoner of His Majesty and is meant as a an insult to Pom’s regarding their lack of true freedom.
Naturalman75 can correct me if I have it wrong since I’m not a native Aussie.
