Language can be powerful in shaping ideas and the US has convinced the entire world that they are the “Americans” and everybody else on the 2 continents aren’t.

on behalf of great britain you are welcome to use shermans or septics. but the derivative seppo was invented by the aussies so you’ll have to ask them for the permit. they may throw in leftpondian for free, i don’t think they use it much any more
edit: i was operating outside my jurisdiction, septics is australian too according to https://greensdictofslang.com/entry/brdxe6y
Speaking on behalf of Australia I grant permission for everyone to use “seppo”
I’ll gladly use it and alternate. Good word.
Never heard of sherman or septic. Where do those terms come from? Septic is from septic tank?
Rhyming slang. Septic Tank = Yank
Also it’s full of shit.
yes, both as in tank (=yank)
