I've been bingeing some Silent Witness and Unforgotten and, while Canadians use both Yank and Brit phrasing, I've reeeeally been rocking out the rhyming slang.

Like "Septic", even when it's someone else on the news.

as a brit I would assume "septic" meant masturbation in rhyming slang

I've always heard it from Brits and Australians to mean Americans.

Septic > septic tank > yank

Seppo is also an option
