Septic is a rhyming slang term. Septic tank = yank. So no, not as degrogatory as you would propably have thought 
Goober is a Military term (well navy at least). For "Gary Goobers". The origin is lost is a drunken haze somewhere no doubt but it is widely used in my circles and again, is not derogatory, just descriptive!

Every Regiment? ?Really? ?The British Army alone had over a hundred... ?WoW!
We share the same problems, though on different sides of the globe...
Except I dont have what I consider to be "scads of epic"- I'm always on the lookout for MORE...
