These Brits over here call all of you "Yanks". I tried to explain it to them once and quit half way when the Mason-Dixon line thing just got lost in translation.

Funny, the Australians have a term for Yanks that isn't very polite. They call us "Septics" and yes, that type of septic.

And unclemick2, in Australia a Darwin stubby is what you want for beer.
