To say nothing of "Whinging pomm".  I heard the Australian complain
bitterly of the English and they used this term.

Whinging Pom pom whinger british 
   
 

1.  Whinging Pom  

A person of British origin who will consistently complain about any
situation that they may face. They are emotionally unable to deal with
any sort of adverse condition without commenting negatively about it. 

The typical 'whinging pom' can be often located in such global locations
such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada. Though also found in multiple
other locations in high concentrations (such as the USA), they tend to
countries that at least pay some lip service to their beloved monarchy. 

-Chris, often known as a whinging pom, would often complain that he
could never get any work done in the New York office, the rooms were
terrible and people wouldn't stop hitting him in the head with office
toys. 

"The food is much better in London, you can hardly find a decent steak
with mad cow here" 

"Sure you may have won the last 30 games of rugby against us but we
still won the world cup" 

"This place get far too much sunlight my healthy white skin can only
handle the sun once filtered through multiple layers of cloud, fog and
rain"

I have read where the term 'Brit' is regarded as a sort of pejorative
term.
I never thought of it that way, but considered it a slang, or
abbreviation 
for British, or Briton.  What say you UK residents?
