English term
winging poms
English to Polish
Art/Literary
And so… humour is nearly always the best lubricant if you like. I have worked on American film sets where there isn’t much of the kind of banter that we British are very good at and indeed Australians. The director was Australian… and I was obviously British then as I still am, and… Everyone else was American. And it was, it absolutely fascinated me because… for all Australians call us you know winging poms and so on, you realise how much more we have in common with Australians that we do with Americans…

whinging POMs
właśnie kilka dni temu rozmawiałem o tym z moim kierownikiem projektu...
powinno być whinging POMs
POM - Prince of Modern England - tak nazywają Anglików Australijczycy.
whinging POM - jęczący angol, (wiecznie) narzekający angol

I stand corrected - Prisoner of Mother England (lub of Her Majesty) - zapewne miałem woskowinę w uszach

: POM = Prisoner of Mother England> GB convicts 'transported' to Australia - and on to Tasmania for re-offfending - up to 150 years ago. 'Pommie Bastards' is a common, but less flattering tag.

About time the English started to give ourselves some credit and stop winging. Winging Poms and Tall Poppies come to mind.;)
