Someone other than me can probably give the actualy origin of this term,
but
"Pom" is an Australian term for people of English origin. While not
wishing
to cause offence to any of our English cousins reading this list, it is
usually used in reference to English people living in Australia, and in
such
case is used with the word "whinging" attached to it.. :)
