What is a seppo?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (4 children)

aussie slang for american. seppo = septic tank = yank

edit: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/seppo

Seppo is a mildly derogatory Australian slang term for an American, shortened from septic tank.

Fucken great slang for us honestly. I'm not even mad with the sewage we spew all over the world.

right? I like it for us. its accurate and it's fun to say.

As a Yank, I have to say I find 'seppo' highly entertaining, and at least somewhat accurate for many of my countrymen. A lot of your slang is funny as all get out, and some of your music is pretty good too.

That seems a lot more than "mildly" derogatory.

Are we "seppos" because we are septic tanks, or are we supposedly inclined to have septic tanks?

Because I'll lightly disagree with one of those, only because most people I've met and places I've lived have used public sewage systems.

Edit: nevermind, read further on the definition page. It's a rhyming thing (kind of?) and we're full of shit. I'm on board with that.

Funny, since I'm not a seppo. I just had a high school education in eastern europe.
