i just meant the colour mate! arrrrgh!
PS i heard the pomes comin to Oz turn tomatoes or pomme d'amours in french BWAHAHA POMME D'AMOURS! THE APPLES OF LOVE!! my best find ever i just discovered the origin and essence of the pommies
You must have some good drugs over there Surt!
He's basically saying that most Poms that come to Aus get burnt to shit; hence they turn into tomatoes, then he decided that the acronym POM was actually very similar sounding to the french word for apple which is Pomme (conincidentally pronounced pom) and added the D'amour which in French means Love but when added to Pomme (as in Pomme D'amour) is what they call Toffee Apples. Now he's decided that the origin of Pom was actually Aussie's calling them Toffee Apples.
That is today's translation lesson concluded. Thank you. I'll be here most of the week.
Jesus, Si, glad you knew what he wrote! lol
Nah....i reckon Si is on the same drugs as Surt!!
lol
You all got it wrong Surt is a rusky drug.
yup i sent a bit to Si hows it comin mate? hahaha!
i meant that in russian we call a tomato "tomat" from english, but most often "pomidor" from french or spanish fuck knows! but hell yeah, not "pomme d'amour" but "pomme d'or" "golden apple"
...... how's your bike going Pete?
Pom is short for Pomegranate which is a bright red (similar to the colour of the skin of burnt Poms on hols at Bondi) fruit.
But I do like the Toffee Apple thing. That's funnier.
yup i know the pomegranades, another nice version as well
btw pom or pome is a false acronym
I was always told it was Prisoner Of the Motherland. Considering I've been called it for many years I had to research it. Never heard the pomegranate one before? Interesting.
Got me thinking so i checked Wikipedia (dangerous, I know) but found this:
Pommy
The term pommy, pom or pomme, in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, commonly denotes a person of British (usually of English heritage) origin. A derogatory term, it was controversially ruled no longer offensive in 2006 by the Australian Advertising Standards Board and in 2010 by the New Zealand Broadcasting Standards Authority.[1] Despite these changing views, many British people or those of British origin consider the expression offensive or racist when used by people not of British origin to describe English or British people, yet acceptable when used within that community: for example, the community group British People Against Racial Discrimination was among those who complained to the Advertising Standards Board about five advertisements poking fun at "Poms", prompting the 2006 decision.[2]
The origin of this term is not confirmed and there are several persistent false etymologies. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) strongly supports the theory that pommy originated as a contraction of "pomegranate".[3] The OED also suggests that the reason for this is that pomegranate is extinct Australian rhyming slang for immigrant; it cites an article from 14 November 1912, in a once-prominent Australian weekly magazine The Bulletin: "The other day a Pummy Grant (assisted immigrant) was handed a bridle and told to catch a horse." A popular alternative explanation for the theory that pommy is a contraction of "pomegranate", relates to the purported frequency of sunburn among British people in Australia, turning their fair skin the colour of pomegranates.[4] However, there is no hard evidence for the theory regarding sunburn. Another unofficial explanation is that P.O.M. stands for 'Prisoner of Millbank ' or that P.O.H.M.E. stands for 'Prisoner of Her Majesty's Exile'. However, the OED states that there is no evidence for these terms or abbreviations being used and that they are an unlikely source. Historian Richard Holt maintains the origin of the term comes from English cricket tours of Australia where the English gentlemen amateurs would drink Pommery Champagne in preference to Australian beer.[5]

Pete, I don't mean to be a ball breaker, but is it possible to reduce the size of your signature. It's starting to give me the shits seeing the same pic (which is not small) over and over in every thread.
Don't mean this in a bad way mate, i think banner signatures are cool, but this is over the top
Well said Greko, and the ducts look all types of Gay even more so because you like them!Quote:

will you be able to use your new air scoops for anything if you turbo pete?
You really are a cretin.
Somebody politely asks you to make a small change for the benefit of the entire board, and you predictably respond like the 12yr old simpleton that you are.
Congratulations, you are the first on my ignore list...
