pomm

Pomm is a colloquial term sometimes used to refer to apples, particularly in some regions of the United Kingdom. The word likely derives from the Old French word "pomme," meaning apple. Its usage is informal and not typically found in formal writing or scientific contexts. While "apple" is the standard and universally understood term, "pomm" can occasionally be heard in casual conversation, especially among older generations or in specific local dialects. The term is generally understood to mean the fruit of the apple tree. It is not a distinct species or variety of apple but rather a regional or informal synonym. The context in which it is used usually makes its meaning clear.
