In Australia, the term ''seppo'', shortened from traditional [[rhyming slang]] ''yank'' ==> ''septic tank'', is sometimes used as a pejorative reference to Americans.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Burridge | first1 = Kate | last2= Manns | first2 =  Howard|title=Get yer hand off it, mate, Australian slang isn't dying |url=https://lens.monash.edu/@howard-manns/2018/01/24/1303584/get-yer-hand-off-it-mate-australian-slang-isnt-dying |website=Lens |publisher=[[Monash University]] | date= 25 January 2018 | author1-link = Kate Burridge}}</ref>

In Finland, the word ''jenkki'' is sometimes used to refer to any American citizen, and ''Jenkkilä'' or ''Jenkit'' refers to the United States itself. It is not considered offensive or anti-American, but rather a colloquial expression. In Sweden, the word ''jänkare'' is a derivative of Yankee that is used to refer to both American citizens and classic American cars from the 1950s that are popular in rural Sweden.<ref>[http://www.h-net.msu.edu/gateways/migration/threads/identity/disc-southernS96.html Comments on H-South by Seppo K J Tamminen]. h-net.msu.edu</ref>
