I’m not an American and English isn’t my first language, so the US way to write dates always confused me. Now, I finally understand it! Many thanks, this is legitimately sooooo useful!
I will never stop being impressed by the absolute insanity that is British rhyming slang.
Apparently I’ve never heard seppo before, short for septic tank, rhyming with Yank. I just learned a new mildy derogatory term for Americans, nice
I’m pretty sure it’s because of the way we say it. Like, “May 6th, 2023”. So we write it 5/6/2023.
That said, I think it’s fucking stupid.

Yer, just like the most important day for the seppos… The 4th of July…

In British English you say the date before the month as well. I know that even saying the month first sounds very jarring too me.
