It is possible that the man said that the other was a "pawn". This is an expression based upon one of the pieces in a game of chess. He is saying that the man is of little value and is being manipulated for the advantage of others.

hi it probably is the abbreviation of a word, which is mentioned before, in the film i guess :)

Yep I agree Bill, this was what I was shooting for.

It could be a "pom" which is an Australian term for a person from England.

Which movie? It is a slang term, therefore the definition may well be governed by the geographic location.
