EX-Colonials, if you please.

And we're not taking over, we're just making a visit.

A long visit.

Septic: Australian (pronounced Strine), rhyming slang for American. i.e.; Septic Tank = Yank.

Saved? Us? More like invaded.

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.

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

From the sounds of it, you'll be up to your eyeballs in it once we get there. Erm, I mean... once we invade.

Well it might seem like that to a country who never won a war on their own.
