My experiance with playing around with folks is it is not constructive.
This web site is a tool for arboriculture issues & for sharing arboriculture information, not a venue of messing with folks minds.
Think of it this way;
If you use a saw to pound a nail, it does'nt really work, right?
So, what is the point?

Use TreeBuzz for it's stated use, not as a source of messing with folks minds.
It does not matter if some folks talk about stuff that is besides the stated use of TreeBuzz, what matters is if folks who have something of substance in themselves know the difference, and use Treebuzz accordingly.
Lets not become what we despise.
Its up to each of us individually.

Thanks

"It's a racist term for a Brit.

Dunno the exact origin..."


I don't think of it as racist, but its certainly not a compliment, just a term for brits in Australia and has become a term used by Australians for all brits.

Australia was used as a penal colony and we used to send our worst prisoners there. New prisoners would arrive in prison clothing with the word POHM written on them.

POHM = "Prisoner of Her Majesty" So new prisoners would arrive and they would be called POHMs by those who were already there, and they'd probably be whinging about the conditions and heat so they would be called "whinging POHMs"

So thats how it started and now all brits in ausralia are called Poms.

This is a widely circulated urban myth Rupe, it is totally false and it has nothing to do with prisoners!

The real reason is that 'Poms' refers to the pommegranite like complexion that british people get after even one day in the beautiful australian sunshine.

They look like pommegranites(burnt lobsters)
Pasty white skin turns blush red

Some british people have a salami meat complexion - some bits are white, some bits are red and some bits are transparent.

They also have bad teeth!
