Why do the aussie`s call the english fans "poms"?

what does "pom" mean?

Answers:
Steve T is right - it means Propertyof his/her majesty. But it was the name given to the prisoners we deported to Australia so in all truth they're the Poms!
PRISONER OF (HER) MAJASTEY
Prisoner of (her) majesty as it was the British convicts that were shipped out there.

Ironic really, cos it means that THEY are actually the Poms LOL
Poms are the Poms(english) form england area of the world cos they are poms
It's POME - Prisoner of mother England.
Thought it was because "English" was too hard to spell.
