why would us pomes even care, when its only the aussies who say it and who cares about that backward nation of crims who cant even speak properly.

I agree with Daniel. I think all English insecurity (and this forum is proof that there’s plenty) stems from the fact that the sun never used to set on the English empire, but now the sun never even rises on it!
From world leaders to the white trash of Europe, that’d make anyone insecure.

The word Pom is the only bit of national identity the so-call ‘English’ have left. Where did your senses of humour go? Piss off.

What a bunch of whinging wankers. I agree with Ahmed – the poms can’t handle being called a name when they have been doing the name calling for so long. Off your imperialist thrones you f**king little girls. English beer is shit, england is shit so all you’ve got is personality- don’t f**k that up too!

Cries of racism are ludicrous! Has no one noticed that you POMS and (white) Aussies are of the same race? It’s just a good natured, brotherly bit of ribbing.
If us calling you POMS really were an issue we wouldn’t have millions of you bloody POMS over here!
As for Rich… bloody POM!!

P.S: I agree about Toohey’s New and VB, but there are some really great Aussie beers.

Can’t all the POMS reclaim the term for themselves… Sit in a bar (by the beach you lucky people – I’m in London) have a Tooheys New and call each other POMS….go on…you’ll find it empowering….

I’ve never seen the word ‘pom’ as an insult, in some ways i link it with the word ‘aussie’ Aussies call us ‘poms’ and we call them ‘aussies’. Never felt any need to see it as a derogatory term because i’ve always found that when aussies use the term it’s always been light-hearted.
On the lighter side of things Toohey’s probably is a ‘poms’ worst nightmare, or at least mine because i have sensitive teeth and cold beer (”supercold”) makes them go all tingly.
And about England’s sporting successes. Well if England were great at all sports we, the English would have one less thing to moan about, and we all enjoy a good moan.

In response to Paul Stevenson – So it’s ok to use ‘girlie’ as a derogatory term instead? And if big men don’t insult others, why are you?

And what about the extremely derogatory treatment Australians receive in the UK? Glasshouses and stones, people.
