First name Teify = Taffy?

[Cell]

 Hi,
I tend to get called Taff and Taffy here. I've never once been called a pom in all the time I've been here ( around 11 years). Most of the Aussies I know  tend to just call English people pom's.

Pom:
" First recorded in 1912, the term was originally applied to an immigrant from Britain, and was formed by rhyming slang. A British immigrant was called a pommygrant, from the red fruit pomegranate, perhaps referring to the complexion of the new arrivals, which was then abbreviated to pommy and pom. Although some argue otherwise, it is not an acronym of prisoner of mother England."
