T-man, what are "pommy bikers"? **************************** When I worked in Australia, I was told that the correct use of the term was always "POME Bastard" (pronounced pommy) and stood for Prisoner Of Mother England However the American Heritage Dictionary says: pommy or pommie n., pl. pommies. Australian. New Zealand. Used as a disparaging term for a British person, especially a recent immigrant. [Short for pomegranate, alteration of Pummy Grant, probably alteration of immigrant.] This is probably more than you really wanted to know. -- bierdo
