> I 've always let our Babblers from Oz and NZ weigh in there as we Americans generally know zero of the origins of (or truth about) this possible ethnic slur.
The usual formulation was p*mmy bastards or whinging p*ms :)
It is not used so much now that Australia has become less Anglo.
We used to have 2 distinct ways of speaking..... English (south east counties) and Strine.
It is interesting to hear old newsreals.
That's all changed and no one uses p*mmy any more.
