Thank you. I encountered the term due to Monty Python, via the sketch about the Australian philosophy professors meeting their new colleague from "Pommie Land"...
Ha! It's always linked to the cricket as it's the "convicts" versus the "pom's". Pom's or "Pommie Bastards" is a term (I believe) for English immigrants living in Australia. Been softened with use over my lifetime but still a derogatory term!

I wish I knew why the Australians call the English "poms". It must be some sort of local thing.
