Im not American so I probably didn't see a lot of this but my lasting impression was a lot of blustering and shit slinging but no real action or substance. Like everything he tried or promised either didn't get done or was half arsed. Basically i saw it as incompetence and damage through inaction rather than the malicious active damage he is doing now.

Not sure where it came from but you can see it here under S - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary_of_British_military_slang_and_expressions#S

As for other words, I don't think we do quite so many as the Aussies but there are words like aggro, cheapo, wino, preggo used in every day speech.

Seppo is pretty common in the UK too, particularly in families with people in the forces.
