@roger,
Some australians call us that.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
@ossobuco,
What's to "grrr" about? We call 'em Aussies and refer to their land as OZ. Turn-about is fair play, seems to me.
@ossobuco,
at least they don't call you whingeing pomms.
which really gets on my nerves, cos i aint a pomm....im scottish, not english, but they use it for us too.
@Berty McJock,
In Oz anyone from the UK is a Pom.

Stop your whingeing!
To be fair I'd never call a Scot a pom. I'd call him a geordie with his head kicked in
@Lustig Andrei,
thats my point...except we're not all pommies, just the english. the aussies seem to see the whole uk as england.
@hingehead,
christ thats even worse!
i am NOT a geordie, head kicked in or otherwise.
i think i prefer sweaty sock!!! (rhyming slang for jock)

can't believe that's wildly true. Have never met an Aussie woman who thought a pommie accent was cute - but Scots and Irish? Get me a drip tray.

This is the bad jokes thread. Mission accomplished.
@hingehead,
all i know is when i was in oz, i was a whingein pom...grrrrrrr lol
anyway, bed time...night night
@Berty McJock,
Really? Apologies on behalf of my brethren. Unforgivable. Maybe they were too polite to say whingeing c***?
One time Rodney Dangerfield said his wife's cooking was so bad that the flies chipped in to fix the screen door.
@Lustig Andrei,
It's an aesthetic matter to me. You're welcome to like it.
Me, I tend to call them Australians.
@Lustig Andrei,
And I'm American. I can't even imagine anyone other than us calling themselves Americans. Not anywhere between Baffin Bay and Tierra del Fuego, anyhow.
In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'
She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a
youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'
The defense attorney nearly died.
The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,
'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.
@parados,
With all due respect, this is not that bad a joke.
@Advocate,
Fine....
Here's the bad punchline
"If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll find you in contempt of court."
@hingehead,
ahhh so your an aussie.
where's yer ball and chain then??
sorry that was below the belt.
...chained to yer ankle last i heard
sorry couldn't resist.
