I think these should be banned. In fact all boots not black should be banned. A little bit of colour should be allowed but the blacker the better.

ur not a Pom by any chance??

He can't be a POME, he got out... (if you really want to get technical)

If you really want to get technical, don't use backronyms.

POME does NOT stand for Prisoner of Mother England.

If that's what we're arguing about it must be a slow news day.

POME does NOT stand for Prisoner of Mother England.

according to the theory that you believe, a lot believe it does and that's what they mean though.

There's having a theory, and having proof.

There's NO proof of using POME to mean Prisoner of Mother England.

I'm sure you'd prefer the explanation the bloke down the pub gives.

I don't have any proof that it stems from rhyming slang for immigrant. But then, I don't go around claiming that either.

The closest I can get is a picture of the original convict wear - which has no stamping of POME or anything on it.



Do you like this theory:

I always thought the term pom came about because prisoners were shipped to Australia from Portsmouth, aka: Pompey.

[Adolt Hıtler]

They'd go great with orange boots.

One MAJOR problem with the rhyming theory: Pomegranet doesn't rhyme with immigrant.

Notice it says it's backed up by the OED!

I can't see the image BUT from memory even the OED considers it the most believable theory. It doesn't state it as a fact.

But you've said the OED is the 'source of truth'. If you won't believe that, what will you believe?

yes it is the source of truth, that's why the OED states it as a theory and not as a fact.

Does the OED have a theory on Australian born people being called "poms"?

The OED doesn't normally cover slang words, so I would doubt it.

So why does the OED cover "Pom" for English people, but not "Pom" for Australia people?

you will have to discuss this with the OED themselves, I cannot answer for them.

I would assume it doesn't cover bubble or sceptic either. Probably because they're more regional slang rather than common place in the entire country.

Does it cover limey?
