How naive of me.

Pom is not said to be an insult, Limey might be tho.Quote:

Isn't the English language itself a simple theft and bastardization of Greek and Latin. Perhaps a reading 'The Stories of English' by David Crystal would give you all an insight.
Amazon.com: The Stories of English: David Crystal: Books
But to be honest, it's a tough fookin' read! So I'll stick to expletives, it's far easier!
As for the Welsh, Irish and Scots, as other posters have said I believe they just call us English twats or cvnts! :)
People of intelligence usually adapt the their surroundings. Linguistically and otherwise. Something most Brits see to have trouble with; that "Linguistic Thing." Have no idea what that "Pom" thing is about but if it bugs y'all then it can't be all bad can it? ;)Quote:

In South Africa, we used the name 'Pom' for the Brits.
We also used a few other choice ones going back to the Boer War era when the Brit soldiers raped the Boer women, & their propensity to become sunburned in the hot African sun:
Rooineck = red neck
Soutpiel = salty dick (white member)
I think I spotted you and Gordy though ScampQuote:
