Aussies and Brits are known for 'Taking the P...'.
We also say 'He's full of P and wind'.

Don't P on my leg and tell me it's raining.
On the p**s (drunk). Probably heard it in a few too many Kevin Bloody Wilson tunes.

Familiar with the term since growing up on CBC, TVO and PBS....BBC, London Weekend, Thames, ABC (Austrailian).....
over here it was ususally the equivalent of "Pulling my leg", but over here is kinda puritanical with broadcasts.
I'd have gone with Patti Smith;

One of the more curious threads in a long while...
Hard OJ and lemonade
Since I live in the great PNW, our phrase should be "who p***ed in your double tall half caf oat milk sugar free vanilla frappe this morning?" I know people who order this offal. Which says a lot about the company I keep (not willingly, they are coworkers. One of which is so hipster that she refuses to wear standard deodorant, she uses frankincense or myrrh or something to the point you can tell when she's been in a particular area of our office two hours later. Not a pleasant smell either. She's a lovely girl but I stand upwind when I am in her company.),
Aussies also refer to me as a seppo. so there's that.

Actually it was a few Ales, followed by 3 litres of Hard Lemonade, chased down by a few mugs of Hard OJ!Hard OJ and lemonade
Then a YT video talking about a visit to Australia and how we take the P out of you to see if you're worth talking to. Then I wondered if taking the P out of someone was related to people being full of P and wind. Perfectly normal if you ask me!
^Sounds legit^
Carry on.

I had to look that one up. Yank. Septic Tank. Seppo. That's a crooked path to an inside-joke kind of insult, but creative for sure.
You gotta figure it could make a guy a bit surly listening to Christmas music in a Speedo.

Nah it's just straight rhyming slang. Septic Tank - Yank.
You drop the rhyming word so you get Septic.
Seppo is just how Aussies soften it.
The fact that people from the US spent decades developing an International reputation of being loud, brass, crass, boastful, arrogant and ignorant was just a happy coincidence. Septic Tank would still rhyme with Yank.
