Sounds like something being called from the country side.  Om sounds like disruption or loud noise and som is village. 

Put it together, it sounds like a rugrat, dennis the menace from the village or neighborhood. 

Lots of nicknames to be had if you are from the country.

it means a shop where girls in bikini fills your beer for you and there may be happy ending services there.   :2funny:
