Thread: Why do TD Merkins use an Aussie word?

I had never thought about the word Pom as being derogatory until I accidently called this Scotish bloke called John Donnelly a pom and he hammered me when playing against him in Rugby!

I suffered a black eye and and a bloody nose and he got sent off.

Didn't realize that the Jocks hated the Poms so much!

Listen, NR.

I'm an American and as such, am free to chose the phrases I like. Thre isn't any established protocol or fussy nanny pushing me toward "rot mouth" or "bell end blower."

It's all open ended, you see.

I'm not bound by the same dozen or so insults that your mind-numbing people cleverly bandy about at everything and everyone that isn't properly Pom.

If there's one you prefer, please feel free to suggest it (yes I know, it's difficult) and I'll summarily dismiss it. Thanks for your interest.

"The Welsh have never made any significant contribution to any branch of knowledge, culture or entertainment ... They have no architecture, no gastronomic tradition and, since the Middle Ages, no literature worthy of the name."
There seems to me to be enough truth in this to make it painful for any Welsh person to contemplate. One could add to it. One could say that the Welsh pride themselves on their intense musicality, even though it seems to amount to little more than being able to gather in large numbers and sing music written by foreigners. One could say that their musical sense is only there to compensate for their lack of visual sense and that Wales is, by nature, a magnificent country which has been diminished by almost everything that man has added to the landscape.
The one thing achieved by a cheeky bit of polemic like Wilson's is that it manages to unite the Welsh in a way that nothing else could. I can remember from my childhood in Wales, and I am often told by those who have worked with the Welsh, that the manner in which they scheme, and stab each other in the back, and engage in tribal vendettas, and engage in local corruption where necessary, and squabble generally, is wonderful to behold - certainly, the way in which the north and south of Wales are divided against each other seems to be far fiercer than in Scotland or England.
