Pome-pome is a common Singaporean phrase for taking a bath, normally used with little children. I still haven't figured what language it originated from.
Matt saw S washing the dishes the other day and remarked, "Daddy, you're pome-pome-ing the plates right? You have to pome-pome the plates because they're dirty right, like I have to pome-pome when I'm dirty right?"
"Yes, Matt."
"Like pigs and lions also have to pome-pome right, because they get dirty?"
"Yes, Matt."
"But you cannot pome-pome clocks right, because they have electricity?"
"That's right!"
