<P>The word Pom is Australian for an English person and it is simialr in meaning to the term you Americans use "Limey". It can be insulting but mostly its not, more a term of freindship but friends can have a falling out and we do often (Australians and Poms). But if you knew Australians well; we wouldn't be bothered to ridicule you unless we liked you and wanted to have some sort of relationship with you. </P> <P>The very worst thing you can get with an Australian is the use of the term Mister; This means we are not comfortable with you and would like to distance ourselves from you. If you call yourself Mr you are regarded as an ignorant person.</P> <P>We do ridicule most other people of an english speaking background and we love to be ridiculed right back. Our order of preference has changed over the years from English, Americans then anyone else to Ourselves, Kiwis then South Africans.</P> <P>Rgds ian </P>
