waste drainage pipe

I meant yank, not an oil tanker.

Sheesh, make one little crack about their lack of ice cubes and they start calling you a septic tank....

For added friendliness, we can, of course, shorten it to the diminutive 'septic/s'.

I'm feeling the warmth...

MikeNY once suggested that 'perfect twit' would be a good Cockney rhyme for 'Brit', but then the joke would start 'Two septics and a perfect went into a pub...'. I'm happy with his suggestion.

A merchant then

[Tdol]

Is a merchant an employee of J. Arthur?

[curmudgeon]

I do believe he could be Tdol, if anyone asks for an explanation I'm nominating you

[Tdol]

My explanation would probably be London by night.

Hi,

In my country, dirty water and trash is thrown through a waste drainage pipe in a kind of giant "liquid garbage" which also holds the rain water.

It's called in Portuguese: "Lagoa de captação" which could mean word by word
"uptake lake" or "capturing lake". Does somoene know the right word in English?

Thank you,

Temporarily interrupting the repartee:

In AmE, we call a "waste drainage pipe" a "sewer pipe," and it empties into a sewer. The content of the sewer is "sewage."

Carry on, chaps!

Have I triggered a 3rd world war just because of my question?
