OP cryptic crosswords
Hmmm… they sound interesting. I might have to try one.
Pom
Writing of interesting, ‘Pom’ was a new one on me. Thanks for using it!
‘Pom’ certainly has an interesting etymology. I never would have thought Cockney rhyming slang existed in Australia. It makes sense when I think about it, though. Is rhyming slang still used in Australia and/or New Zealand? (Of course, you may not know if it’s used in New Zealand, or not, but I’d thought I’d ask since you’re closer to it than I am.) If so, it would be interesting to study the current rhyming slang used in England and compare it to rhyming slang that may exist anywhere else in the Commonwealth, along with their histories/etymologies, so to speak.
