Septic tank = Yank

I didn't even do it right, it should have been "We septics just don't have a clue." The advanced form just suggests the rhyme so you really have to know what's going on.

Also, this is one way the Brits are better than us (and I do believe that they are), they can subtly insult you and you didn't even know it happened.
