Cites?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockney_rhyming_slang

from the "cite":

"In Garth Ennis' The Boys, Billy Butcher refers to Americans as Septics,
then explains "Septic Tank: Yank". In Aussie (Australian) slang,
this is further shortened to "seppo(s)".

...which was my point entirely. Australian, not Brit.

Thank you for the confirmation of what I said - though I would have thought
you'd cite a reference that backed up *your* contention, not mine.

Brit rhymes with ****, which is the same as Turd

Aussie rhymes with Bossy...

No it doesn't.
The "ss" in Aussie is pronounced "zz" - unless of course, you habitually
talk out of your arse...

...oh yes! I forgot.
Sorry.

....which was my ex...who was a ****.

You choose well.

Simple, no?

Yes. vbg

Dont worry about it Jeff - Gunner thrashes around a lot but when he
cant find an internet reference to cut and paste he just gets louder
and more obscure - hes a total idiot, but hes OK, not a bad bloke.
(And as a fellow Aussie, you would know what I meant by that - too
subtle for Gunner.)

And Gunner - Rhyming Slang is meant to Rhyme - transpositions, flights
of fancy, wishful thinking etc are NOT allowed.

You wanna give it another shot, or retire gracefully?

**** and Brit with a curve to Turd isnt right?

But Septic Tank and Yank is?

Odd..looks a bit like denial on your part to my tired old eyes

And Im not aware of any Septics that use Auzzie, they use Aussie.
Im also not aware of any Septics that use Arse...they use Ass

You two lads also seemed to have missed the VBG and the G

Gunner, read your own posts - Septic Tank = Yank, should be blatantly
obvious (assuming your speaking English and not some weird dialect,
and you have some doozies there - one doesnt "understand" Yanks so
much as "hear" them.) The volume control gets turned up to max all to
often. In foreign climes, this is good - means you can stay well clear
of the pack, avoid being involved in "terrorist" attacks. (Which
usually consist of charging them twice local rates for anything)

Q "**** and Brit with a curve to Turd isnt right?" - No, it doesn't
rhyme. Curve/Turd does, but so what - thats accidental on your part.

Q" Odd..looks a bit like denial on your part to my tired old eyes." I
thought you got new reading glasses a while ago?

They work great at a distance..but I got the wrong perscription for
the bifocal closeup side..they focus starting at 29" and go to about
48" Not a lot of help in doing "work"

Mate, it really doesn't matter - I don't expect you to have any
comprehension of any culture beyond your own.

Re Jeff being a Liberal - ooh, Gunner - in Australia, being a member
of the Liberal Party means your a Conservative...in some circles, its
an insult to call someone a Liberal. Otherwise, "liberal" describes
a political philosophy.

Son...We are not discussing Ozite poltics. If we were...most here
would be yawning or confused. You "subjects" are not a majority
here...shrug..

Gunner Gunner Gunner - its OK, you don't need to rant on this one -
its not worth your effort, or my time, to educate you on local idiom.

Local to Oz one assumes? Sorry old sod..Im not in Oz..nor are most
of the posters here.

Now while Ive found it to be a very nice place, spend some quality
time there in the very early 70s on I&I..found the women to be
compliant, frantic in bed and easy on the eyes...there could even
conceivably be a number of "30 Something" Gunners loose in your
country....shrug..one assumes they number among the non drunken, non
spousal abusing mionority of your male population.

Shrug..probably did the gene pool some good actually.
