Errhh unless you are talking about drainage you mean "sceptic" right?
Thank god us English are here to teach you yanks how to talk.
You guys wanted a grammar war ........ you got one b*tches!! make a typo at your peril.
That's how you really spell it there? It's definitely septic here. Septic Tank = Yank. Am I wrong?
Either way, that is rhyming slang, so doesn't count!
What do you mean when you say "fellow" septics? that makes no sense whatsoever, even in St Louis.
That's like me saying "when my fellow bins make fun of .........."
You've lost me mush.
Like saying my fellow Americans. I just chose to use your word.

Not sure what Guy Ritchie B-Movie you've been watching but I've never heard "Septic" used to describe "yank" and if there has been, its the saddest thing I've ever seen.
