The term "pommy" or "pom" is believed to have originated in Australia and New Zealand as a slang term for British immigrants. One theory suggests it derives from "pomegranate," referring to the red complexion of British settlers who often suffered from sunburn. Another theory links it to the acronym "P.O.M.E." (Prisoner of Mother England), though this is likely a folk etymology. Regardless of its origin, the term has been used both affectionately and pejoratively over time.
