minus-squareZoDoneRightNow@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 个月前It is rhyming slang for “Yank” meaning American in Australian english. It is sometimes considered derogatory though Australians often use it in jest. From Yank you get septic tank which was then shortened to seppo.

Slangs of the world, endless traps for (product) names. Regarding your initial Q: no, seppo carries no meaning. I once thought of “self-post”, but dropped that.
