"Pommie" is in the Queens English for an Austrailian.

Well not necessarily an Australian. From Merriam-Webster:
"pommie Main Entry: Pom?my Variant(s): or Pom?mie \ˈp?-mē\ Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural Pommies Etymology: by shortening & alteration from pomegranate, alteration of Jimmy Grant, rhyming slang for immigrant Date: 1912 Australian & New Zealand usually disparaging : briton ; especially : an English immigrant" I think the last line 'an English immigrant' is where Mal was coming form, as I was born in England (mother is British, father was USAF), and grew up in the US. But I speak two languages, English and Queen's English. I also speak a little 'Spain-glish'. But that is basically required in So Calif.

MAL: Have you ever had anyone come knock you up? I remember that expression well from when I visited your country 40 years ago this month on my 21st birthday.

Hi Fellas,
Just thought I'd like to add my understanding of Mals term "Pommie" I was taught as a youngster that the term was spelt as "pome" meaning Prisoner of Mother England when we used to send anybody for the slightest mis-demeanour to Oz. The Aussies in turn turned it around on us when they found Australia to be such a wonderful country and when they use the term Pommie they mean a Brit. One day Mal may break out and use some real good "Strein" and then he'll get us guessing. I am open to correction if anybody else has ideas
