Oi! Pommies!

Indded: I thought it was 3rd, fail.

me, me, me

Just chickened with OU, they do first, upper and lower second, and third. So I'm guessing third and pass are the same on an honours course.

Well actually, now you mention it, no I'm not absolutely 100%, but I'm sure I remember a few people getting 3rds.

I prefer "Limey Bastard" to the English jack*** that I work with.

Yes, you see that's an American term for us. It would just sound odd if anyone else other than a Yank were to use that. The French call us 'Roast Beefs'. The Scottish call us - well they just call us anything that involves swearing. The Aussies - Poms... It seems that every country has a derogatory term for the English. This is how much we are loved by the others around the world. Makes you proud. :~

I've lived in AUS so that's where I picked it up. I've never heard anyone else in this part of the country use the term--then again, not too many Brits around here.

A simple degree is pass only it has no grade. An honours degree has the class.

That doesn't look like a French Canadian name.

[Brady Kelly]

The saffers also use limey and pommie, as well as 'rooinek', a whole different meaning of redneck.

I always felt bad for one my friends from high school--her last name was Bad Yellow Hair. Yes, Native American, but none of the other stereotypes many people hold in this area.

The standard classification for University degrees in the UK is as follows: 1 - Damien Hurst 2.1 - Shania Twain 2.2 - Desmond Tutu 3 - Thora Hurd(also known as a 'Gentleman's Degree')

It's the minor upgrade to a 2.0 Master's ... but still has some bugs that will be fixed in the 3.0 release.   :-D

No you get third then pass.

Although it is true that Aussies more or less uniquely refer to the English as such, I beloieve the full phrase to be "Pommie Bastard"

Since a "B" is a grade you'd get in an "A" level or below: no. Was that a reference to some other degree-level grading system? If so, which one?
