Australian English
editThere should be a note in the article of the common Australian slang term "POME" (pronounced Pomy with long ee, though I've seen it claimed to be pronounced just 'pom') an acronym term for British people meaning "Prisoner of mother England". Obvious to those knowing history implicating Austrialia's start as an English penal colony, and implying that the English are just prisoners of the crown monarchy while Australia was left to form a republic.

- According to Australian words, this word is spelled "Pommie", "Pommy" or "Pom". The origin of the word is uncertain and the theory of it being an acronym for "Prisoner of mother England" is not accepted by lexicographers. SCHZMO ✍ 21:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

indexed?
editFor some reason, I could not access this article directly; had to first do a search on "pome," and then click the first result. Is this article not properly included in an index?Siryendor (talk) 15:52, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
