Why was this thread renamed Antipodean?? I'd like to attest that I have never had anything against pods. In fact I quite like them. Some of them even come with peas.

I can't stand it when people blanket label all Aussies as pod hating maniacs. This is what I find really offensive!

It refers to the Australian tall poppy syndrome, but was mispelled by the early convicts, who, being from Londons east end couldn't speak "proply" and pronounced PODIUM, PODIAN, or Podean.

"We're havin' none of 'em podeans in our fwiggin' country"

"If da gov get's up on dat podean, let's shoo' 'im wif our musket".
