#Seppo empowers you to publish short texts (and images yet to come) and to network in the Social Web. By renting commodity web space and dropping a single file. Without being subject to terms and conditions. Without having to fret about small print or tech lore. And without the need for an IT-consultant. But rather having a life.
Would that be about equivalent to calling British people Poms?
It comes from rhyming slang “septic tank = yank”.
Cheers :-)
Not quite. Yank would be a closer comparison to Pom.
Seppo is closer to “Pommy bastard” in terms of severity. It can be used in a good natured way, but it’s slightly derogatory.
Got you, thanks :-)
It’s a bit harsher than “Pom” and is rarely used in a positive way, unlike Pom which can be an insult or a term of endearment. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Seppo used in a positive way, now that I think of it.
Thanks :-)
