I was asking an AI for suggestions for how to refer to the impending sovereignty threat that is the dying empire of American plutocracy.

Yank and Yankee feel completely gutless to me but Seppos stuck out as both crude (referring to septic tank which rhymes with yank) and appropriate (being full of excrement). The origin is supposedly Australian.

I’m mostly just checking it doesn’t have a racial element or some other dark history that Deepseek didn’t mention.

    Definitely used in Australia for decades. It is the third iteration rhyming slang yank->septic tank->seppo.
