    There are a over 48 million African Americans, so does anyone know some insulting words or phrases people use against them?

    Then we can move on to the > 60 million Latinos (there will be some overlap).

    It’s important to recognize US diversity when dreaming up insults.

    The term “Yank” is incredibly loaded with all kinds of stereotypes the world over, but it has a very different meaning in the US.

    What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual.

    What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual.

    What do you call someone who speaks one language? An American.

    My favourite is “seppo” which is short for septic tank and it rhymes with yank

        It’s Cockney rhyming slang. If you want to come up with a slang term for a something, you take something that rhymes “yank → septic tank” and then cut it down “septic tank → seppo”

          Jeebus, that’s a lot of work. “Americans are loud and smell bad” seems so much easier.

          Maybe Americans are lazy time efficient with their communications. What a zinger.

            Part of the point (the whole point?) of rhyming slang is that it’s opaque and convoluted. That’s what makes it fun. It also makes it a bit of a shibboleth - you only understand it if you’re part of the culture.

            If you’re eating with an Australian and they ask you to “pass the dead horse”, it means they think you’re Aussie enough to know what it means. Or they know that you won’t know what it means and they’re fucking with you intentionally.
