Karl you haven't said anything that would offend real Aussies believe me mate. The idea that you have about the word Pom is one of about twenty that are bandied about. A lot of Sydney type slang comes from British Naval terms, as the original colony of New South Wales of which Sydney is the capital was run by the British Navy, up until the Rum rebellion; when Colonel Lachlan Macquarie took over with has Highland Regiment and put the rebellion down. The Scots nearly died from the heat, they arrived in full kilts and even piped themselves off the ship at Sydney Cove (now Circular Quay) in the middle of summer, i dont think they knew they season here are reversed.  For instance Sydney beers are just about all Naval Terms, This is very rough 200 ml Ladies Waist. 275 ml Middy 375 ml Schooner 500 ml Cruiser. ml is a millilitre, it is hard for me as when i drank in pubs it was in imperial measures and i have forgoten over the years.
