You need to think about it to under stand it.

Its Pome because they are the prisoners of mother england stuck on a cold damp island.
While we were set free on an island with a warm climate and beaches and we got to create a new law system.

Do you understand why they are called pomes now

Ah i see what ya mean. How many people down there would have Irish ancestory?

Pom:

A British person. Also pommy. First recorded in 1912, the term was originally applied to an immigrant from Britain, and was formed by rhyming slang. A British immigrant was called a pommygrant, from the red fruit pomegranate, perhaps referring to the complexion of the new arrivals, which was then abbreviated to pommy and pom. Although some argue otherwise, it is not an acronym of prisoner of mother England.

I don't think Australia is one of those countries that needs advertised, everyone see's it as a sunkissed paradise with beaches, babes, bbq's and utes. BONZA!

Agreed. And what's more it really is all of the above, at least on the south and west coasts. The rest of the place is just one large expanse of not much (also known as the Outback).

The term that really got me when I moved to Australia was 'bash'. If someone is assaulted, seriously assaulted or almost murdered, on the news and in the newspapers they have been 'bashed'. Whenever I hear it I can't help but think of Dennis the Menace or somthing like that.
