"My glasses are famous" hahaha what a dooche.


There are two types of people in Australia; those that watch tabloid current affairs TV and that hate Corey Worthington, while the other group loves Corey Worthington because he annoys the first group so much.

He really showed that tabloid bitch.

Yep. They evolved here and now they are called poms.


And you Aussies don't even know why you call us poms. No, it is not an acronym. Hint = it has to do with pomegranates.

According to British Naval records the term "Pommie" came about from the red "pom-pon" on the top of the hats of British sailors who were involved in the transfer of prisoners to the Colonies. It was used as a derogatory term, but has since become a generalised term for English people. The term pommy or pom is commonly used by speakers of Australian English, New Zealand English, South African English and Afrikaans.

That's not what I read. Never been called a pom by a S. African either. Only Aussies.

This is the one I was referring to and the one I think is correct.

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) strongly supports the theory that pommy originated as a contraction of "pomegranate".[3] The OED also suggests that the reason for this is that pomegranate is extinct Australian rhyming slang for immigrant; it cites an article from 14 November 1912, in a once-prominent Australian weekly magazine The Bulletin: "The other day a Pummy Grant (assisted immigrant) was handed a bridle and told to catch a horse."

Talking about poms reminds me of pomeranians. They're definitely cuter than Koalas.

I wonder who will win in a deathmatch between pomeranian and a koala...
The dog has the speed but the koala has the claw..
