Abstract
Acknowledgment
I wish to thank Phillip Armour (a self-confessed “whinging POM”Footnote 2 now living in the US), for some interesting exchanges on this topic.
Notes
1. “Through a Glass, Darkly,” is a Biblical expression for the unclear way in which we see the world around us.
“Whinging,” an Australian term, means, “to complain frequently” (as in “whining”). “POM” is a somewhat-derisive Aussie term for a British expat (it is an acronym derived from “Prisoner of Mother England” or “Prisoner of her Majesty” which was the status of most early Australian Caucasian residents)
