AAAHHHHHH!
I am whatever you say I am, TJ..... actually this is an education for me..... Me, and the people I communicate on a daily basis, don't have "names" for other people, we call the British, British, the French are French, Japanese are Japanese and so on...... It's very interesting to see these names.... I mean, I know we have plenty of names to call people, but they are so rarely used unless it's a fit of anger.... at least in my experience.....

Scottish = Jocks
Welsh = Taffies
Irish = Paddies
French = Frogs
Americans = Yanks (or sepos if we are feeling nasty

American = Yank = septic tank = septic = sepo 
Many things from rhyming slang are difficult to relate back to the original word unless you know the derivation ....
