pom

Derogatory slang for an English person living in England. The word comes from the acronym P.O.M.E., which stands for Prisoner of Mother England, originating from Australia and New Zealand, both being English colonies. The word is actively used by most of the Australian and New Zealand public, which contradicts what most arrogant Australians claim - that it is their word. But then, the thiefs stole 'Digger' as well from the Kiwis, though most would swear the opposite.
