"PS: the Urban Dictionary is not an infallible source. Sorry.


And needs to be placed forcefully into the deepest recesses of a certain cavity."

And in the world of astronomy, I believe it is the name of one of the larger planets in our solar system. ;)

Methinks somebody is taking something a little too literally.... One wonders if English is his first language actually. I can't imagine any Brit would have to consult the Urban Dictionary to decipher cockney rhyming slang. I don't think there are many American's who are grateful for the outrage caused by this misinterpretation either.

On a related note, when Australia was a penal colony the Cockneys shipped out there took their rhyming slang with them and there exists a version of Australian rhyming slang also http://alldownunder.com/australian-slang/dictionary-rhyming.htm

the urban dictionary was mentioned as it was claimed that it was never used to be offensive, only one source of many. It was put on the post as it was indicated that it is not an offensive term, or has not been used to be offensive, that claim is absolutely false. It wasn't mentioned to instruct a Pom, but to show the readers what I had indicated that for some it is offensive, many Americans do not like it seppo or septic.

some are offended to be called wetback others not

some offended to be called redneck others not

some offended to be called seppo/septic others not

so some argue, well it doesn't bother me, why does it bother you? Geez why don't we use the n word? By that logic, if it doesn't offend me I should be able to use it right?

I am Australian and we don't use much Pom slang to offend others, especially from penal colony days of hundreds of years ago, oh and the move to become a republic continues :) As history has shown, Britain is not the power it used to be so those that use terms outdated and offensive words go for it, every success wished in going into a restaurant in the USA and asking what is your best septic grub? Maybe that cook or waitress will know what many of us do, and the food served will not be fish and chips with vinegar but some other special sauce. Even better if order is done on the 4th of July LOL

For those out there that are moving to the USA on visa journey, every success and happiness!

cheers

Shame the thread got hijacked by someone with a chip on their shoulder

Yeah, too ###### right, Nobbie. And as such, I, as the OP, would now ask the mods to close it due to arsehole interference. Thanks.

I am lucky as I travel to the UK for business, am there now and have had bacon, sausages, chip shop chips and an Indian (all in moderation). All the bad things I know but I just have to while I am here. Do I miss any American food, nope not one bit.
