Urban Tommy

I liked the juxtaposition here between the guy's boots and the printed feet marks on the ground as this urban Tommy waited for his fish and chips.

What is a Tommy? A soldier?

[Andrew-Bede Allsop]

"Tommy" is indeed slang for a British Soldier. It is really a shortening of "Tommy Atkins". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Atkins

Here I use the term slightly ironically.
