    Instead of ‘american’ or USian or others, why not Yankee? It has historical significance to the united states, originated a a pejorative, and the south hates it. Perfect

        In Australia we call them “seppos”. Short for “septics”, which comes via rhyming slang from “yank” -> “tank” -> “septic tank”.
