Question for you people in the UK.

[Shannon]

Does 'pom' just relate to English people or does it relate to everyone in the UK - like Birmingham, etc.

 

[Race Idiot]

No a pom is an English person as far as I know.

Although here are some local references.

Geordie A person from Tyneside or Newcastle
Brummie A native of Birmingham
Scouser A person from Liverpool, a Liverpudlian.

bloke A man.

Hey this site is good if you want to find out some english slang!

Cool. That's all that was racking my brain.

I think you'll also find that 'pom' is pretty much exclusively used to describe a British person by Australians.
