minus-squareOhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up63arrow-down5·1 年前But “American” is what people from the USA are usually called.
minus-squarethemadcodger@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up40arrow-down7·1 年前Yeah, I sometimes say USAian or United Statesian, but that obviously doesn’t flow. It exists in other languages, but not English. Also, personal nitpick, I don’t love when the continent of America refers to both N and S America. “But it’s one landmass!!1!” Yeah, so is AfroEurasia. Continents don’t actually have an agreed upon meaning, so… it’s just, like, my opinion man.

minus-squaregnuplusmatt@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前Australia has a small amount of this type of slang, but its usually more offensive than the mother british type
minus-squareslartibartfast@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down21·1 年前The funny thing is it’s always South Americans trying to force their cultural norms on others and getting angry.
minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 年前To be fair, South Americans have a lot of very legitimate reasons to be angry at the US.
minus-squareaidan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 年前Wdym? I’ve always thought this USian thing was just typical Western Europeans + Aus/Kiwis
minus-squareEtterra@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前As an American, I’m fine with that. Some of us at least have a sense of humor about ourselves. And as an American, I know better than anybody that there’s plenty to make fun of here.
