In the original context of "whinging pom", it definitely means complaining or whining in Australia. It was applied to those poms who migrated out here, and who were disappointed that things were different from "home". A commonly accepted derivation of pom is from pommie, or Prisoner Of Mother England, I guess going back to the old days when the UK practised foreign rendition a couple of hundred years ago. ;-> Regards, Ray. Can Pom and Circumstance be played on a didgeridoo? Vilyehm _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
