"Poms" find it offencive?

[ideabox]

Hi, I was just reading about Austalians being limited from calling the English Poms. Frankly, I wouldn't care because its just like calling them Aussies and stuff but what do you think?

I was also reading a stupid website called stupidaussies.curvedspaces.com/
, which I found pretty upsetting. I was upset at the fact some idiot came up with the idea to make a website about hating the Aussies but also saying things like they are so stupid that they don't know what its like to be sober. Embarrasing since it sparked a lot of hate mail saying we pommy b*****ds have no good bands. I laughed at that but a few people said about their hatred towards the english.

I really liked the Austalians for having a nice personality (most of the time ) but now I feel that every Englishman is looked upon as nasty vermin because we suck at cricket. So, do the majority of people hate the English?

So, do the majority of people hate the English?

Around the world we are regarded as the worst tourists, Specially in Europe anyhow for the 'loutyness' and 'disrespect' some show when drunk and how when we seem to go away we loose all self control for a thew weeks.

However, Hate is a strong word and although the statement I used is stereotypical, It is regarded as truth by many european countrys.

Think about it, for years we had the worst football hooligans abroad, Which didnt help anyone


But about being called pomms, Hell I dont mind its like calling them aussies and the germans gerrys, Its far from offensive and the words are used in headlines on our tabloids...

When i lived in Australia i got called a pom. I just said sthu.

Poms are better known as english men init?

[FlyingJesus]

Pom is a hilarious term. I've never heard it being used, but if someone called me a pom I could come up with much worse, no matter where they're from.

[GommeInc]

I've never know this... And I always thought Aussies called themselves Aussies?

Well being Australian I did think English people found it offensive. But you call us "Ozzies" so it the same. Accents are way hot anyway. Especially English and French. Australian accents are way boring.
