Derogatory terms for Usonians in your native languages?
Derogatory terms for Usonians in your native languages?
With the Norwegian government recently deciding to massively increase the US military presence in this country, I just really want to have some derogatory way of referring to Usonians in the Norwegian language. The problem is that I cannot find any good word for this: existing words fall short; foreign words I'm familiar with either don't translate well, or don't sound good when loaned, or aren't easily understood; and I'm having a hard time coming up with a brand new word to fill this gap myself.
I'm hoping that by asking here that I might be able to find some inspiration, or perhaps even be enlightened about a Norwegian-language term that I didn't know before.

seppo: septic tank; yank
"Seppo" is my favorite when speaking English, it felt kinda weird to use at first because it looks vaguely Japanese or Finnish (indeed Seppo is a Finnish name and {説法|せっぽう} means "preaching") but I quickly grew fond of the word.
oh shit there's a furigana markdown for lemmy.
Also great for {汉语拼音|hàn yǔ pīn yīn}

Oh, weird. Looks like a Chrome/Firefox quirk. It works in Chromium, but I just checked in Firefox and got the same result that you did.
AYO WHAT THE FUCK
Rhyming slang is for some reason so funny to me.
{Apples and pears| stairs }
{Dead horse| tomato sauce }
I'll add Americ***s with the c word in the place of the asterices. I've never actually said seppo out loud, but I say yank/yankee all the time.
Both often full of shit
Septic is totally my favorite.
