I believe it originates from "Prisoner On (his) Majesty's Service, or at least so I've been told.

Possibly, but there's no indication that such terms or acronyms were in use. Another explanation (which I also doubt) is that the word is short for 'pomegranate', as the fair-skinned English were likelier to sunburn, and take on the colour of that fruit.

Thanks, but I like what's in my head better.

Being the dirty, dirty turtle that I am I naturally misread the thread title as "Godless Porn in NZ"

Anyways, Welcome I hope you enjoy your stay here!

I've already turned down a job in LA.

I wouldn't want to visit or live in a country where Trump is president.
