pom
Cheerleader's fluffy prop
Pom is Australian and New Zealand slang for a British person, especially an English immigrant.
The term is mildly derisive but often affectionate: The poms can't handle our summers.
Also pommy or pommie.
The origin is disputed—possibly from "pomegranate" (rhyming slang for immigrant) or the ruddy complexion of newly arrived Britons.
