First time seeing "United Statesian" idek what to say besides I hope to never encounter it again
Well, you guys should have come up with a better demonym that didn't belong to the entire continent(s)
Bah! Use a particular state if you know it. Otherwise American serves as well as European.
People who aren't USAians usually don't know wtf a Vermont is.
I only learned this exist like this: interested in naval warfare -> there was a battleship named USS Vermont -> US battleships were named after states -> so there must be a state like that -> never heard about it before -> must be a shithole
I prefer usonian, but ppl seem to hate that even worse. Much shorter than saying "US citizen", and also not going along with the US cooption of the term america.
I find Burgerlander just rolls off your tongue easier
I’ll also accept Burgerstani & Statesian.
«complaints about stealing this name from Hamburg»
should start saying gringo, it also started as a way to protest against us troops (green-go)
usaan myself
I use Yank. I understand some Yanks think Yank only applies to New Englanders. I don't care, they're all Yanks.
Usonian evokes that weird Frank Lloyd Wright concept of kitschy suburbia that the US could do with substantially less of.
Just call them burgers
I, too, wish to never encounter an unitedstatian
