Prejudice"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

No wonder.It's "Pom" or "Pommie." If you can't even spell your own insulting nickname, you deserve every particle of abuse hurled your way.
That being said, Queensland has to be the most racist and prejudiced state in the nation, and I come from a racist, prejudiced shit-hole of a place in deepest, wettest, darkest country Victoria.
Google the Fitgerald Inquiry if you want to read up on how crappy Queensland has been.

Pommy...or Pome (prisoner of mother England)...or...POM...or, indeed, Pomme...or Pummy (from Pummy Grant assisted immigrant)...or Pomh (or inverted Pohm) - Prisoner of Maidenhead (prison).
Indeed, whilst in Brisbane I saw it spelt Pomme - and since then assumed that his was the correct spelling, since it originated there.
I do remember at the time (mid to late 80's) that people would say, "Queensland police...the best money can buy".
