Going to guess it's one of the UrbanDictionary definitions, or in that vein...
Here I was thinking Ktistec was the most unfortunate, mainly as it's awkward to remember & write.
Australian/British slang. It's a disparaging term for Americans
Starts with rhyming slang
American = Yank Yank = Tank Tank = Septic Tank Septic Tank = Seppo
Lol Seppo is really common Finnish male name especially among older people.
And here I thought I'd never see a lower form of wit than punning.
Rhyming slang isn't really supposed to be funny, rather obfuscatory. It's almost like a cipher, so that anyone not in the know doesn't understand. That's a theory, anyway.
Huh, learned something today, thanks for the explanation
