Now that's not a very nice thing to call folks who saved you from the Japanese... :DL

:har: Saved? Us? :har: More like invaded. :D

It was coined by as cockney rhyming slang during WWI, I believe because of the perceived similarity between the two objective nouns. i.e.; They are both full of excrement.:D

It was then adopted in Australia during the WWII invasion and shortened to it's more common form over here; Seppo.
