Derogatory terms for Usonians in your native languages?
(hexbear.net)
With the Norwegian government recently deciding to massively increase the US military presence in this country, I just really want to have some derogatory way of referring to Usonians in the Norwegian language. The problem is that I cannot find any good word for this: existing words fall short; foreign words I'm familiar with either don't translate well, or don't sound good when loaned, or aren't easily understood; and I'm having a hard time coming up with a brand new word to fill this gap myself.
I'm hoping that by asking here that I might be able to find some inspiration, or perhaps even be enlightened about a Norwegian-language term that I didn't know before.
seppo: septic tank; yank
"Seppo" is my favorite when speaking English, it felt kinda weird to use at first because it looks vaguely Japanese or Finnish (indeed Seppo is a Finnish name and {説法|せっぽう} means "preaching") but I quickly grew fond of the word.
oh shit there's a furigana markdown for lemmy.
Also great for {汉语拼音|hàn yǔ pīn yīn}
{thefuck|What} {happening|is}? https://github.com/commonmark/commonmark-spec/issues/432

And it works with emojis!
It doesn’t seem to work for me:

That's weird I see 4
Oh, weird. Looks like a Chrome/Firefox quirk. It works in Chromium, but I just checked in Firefox and got the same result that you did.
AYO WHAT THE FUCK
Rhyming slang is for some reason so funny to me.
{Apples and pears| stairs }
{Dead horse| tomato sauce }
I'll add Americ***s with the c word in the place of the asterices. I've never actually said seppo out loud, but I say yank/yankee all the time.
Both often full of shit
Septic is totally my favorite.
