What do Australians call Americans?

I looked up some slang terms, but I couldn't find that one. I could have sworn that there was a name for it.

Americans are Yanks, Septics or Seppoes. Until I saw the answers here, I thought all Australians knew all those terms, but obviously not.


aflumpire
most of us aussies tend to call Americans two things.

Americans (well duh)

and Yanks.

We dont try to offend you guys with the term Yanks and to be honest, I dont know what the meaning behind Yank is....but its always used as slang in newspapers and on TV.

Australia has a history of rhyming slang its not meant as a derogatory usually its comment just a slang term.

Italian = eye tie
yank = septic tank
other slang Terms are also used but for the most part yank is used for Americans. Pommy for English etc

Yanks or Septic Tanks. We had an American guy on TV when I was young that the media dubbed "The Lanky Yank".

We usually just call them the yanks I can't really think of anything else we would call them?


moo_the_conqueror
Yanks or Yankees

We also use the rhyming slang which translates like this, Yank = Septic Tank. It can be shortened to Seppo.

Americans. what else would we call them?

"Yanks" but not that often - and usually when we want to make some derogatory remark about them.

Most of the time, just Americans. People don't say 'yanks' anymore unless they were using it in a derogatory manner.
