The Australian slang term "pom" is usually a derogatory reference to someone from England.
The origin of the term is not known, but there are numerous theories.
One popular theory is that the word is an abbreviation of Prisoner Of Her Majesty, or possibly Prisoner Of Mother England, as the first white settlers in Australia were convicts from England.
Another theory suggests 'pom' is short for 'pomegranate', as the word 'pommygrant' was Australian rhyming slang for 'immigrant'. In a similar vein, the English settlers became known as 'poms' because their pale skin turned pomegranate red in Australia's blazing sun.
In Australian slang, "pom" is a derogatory term used to refer to people from England, especially in a humorous or teasing manner. It is short for "pomegranate," a rhyming slang for "immigrant."

No. Many people believe that pom-poms should have a "plural-plural." But, "pom-poms" is the same, whether it is one set or a hundred sets. If there are two or more pom-poms its just pom-poms. As a comparison, it would be like asking if one dog is a dog should two dogs be referred to as dog dog. Also, the singular of pom-pom is pom-pom. It comes from the French word pompon. Although some people will tell you that the singular is just "pom," this is not true. You can have one pom-pom, or many pom-poms.
