"keeper275 from United States". Pommy is what Australians call the English. It isn't really a term of endearment, rather a bit of an insult. Where is comes from is open to argument. Some say it's an Acronym for "Prisoners Of Mother England" while other say it's because the poms are so lily white that when exposed to sun they turn the colour of a Pomeranian (red)! Either way, you don't ever want to be confused with a Pom!
Not enough lines so here goes "I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains. Of rugged mountain ranges, of drought and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel sea. Her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me". My Country by Dorothea Mackellar
