Being wondering about this for a while...
I know most of you will probably roll your eyes when you read this but I honestly do not know the answer.
Why do people refer to locals as 'Septics'? and where did it originate?
I did Google it and got a bunch of info on sewer systems... it is a way of saying they are full of s**t?
