In SA we also talk about the Poms when we battle the English rugby and cricket teams... but I know it is not a term of endearment and is disrespectful.
No worries. I don't take it all that seriously. Some people really don't like us, that's life. I left out Kiwis too, I think they might call us Poms sometimes. Rugby fans from all nations are some of the best behaved fans I've ever witnessed though.

I don't use the term Poms but I know many people that will say it when discussing rugby and cricket. Maybe it is a bit of sledging.....

I wonder why the new versions did not update the word "dung"? :eek: They totally change it to rubbish, trash, garbage, etc...

Make up your mind what you are shocked about will you?

Is it that rubbish, trash, garbage, waste, refuse & dung heaps are all the same thing but you want a smaller vocabulary?
Or is it that a current Bible translation didn't use the same term as early modern English for excrement?
Or is it that 'dung' is neither a Greek nor a Hebrew word?

Or is your latest nit-picking grievance just a pile of crap?

Using the word crap or another 4 letter word would be more genius in the new versions than rubbish. :oops:

This is nothing more than an excremental attempt to demean other translations.
