Peter's right, it's someone from Britain. I've heard 2 different theories as to how the term POM came about.
1. Pom is a corrupted version of P.O.H.M. = Prisoner Of Her Majesty 2. it's a shortened version of P.O.M.E. = Prisoner Of Mother England You have 1 Pom (P.O.H.M.) or a group of Pommie's (P.O.M.E.) As you know, Australia is full of convicts ;-) Dave On Thu, 27 Jan 2005 00:38:53 -0500, Peter J.
