First time seeing "United Statesian" idek what to say besides I hope to never encounter it again

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago

I, too, wish to never encounter an unitedstatian

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago

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

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

I’ll also accept Burgerstani & Statesian.

I use Yank. I understand some Yanks think Yank only applies to New Englanders. I don't care, they're all Yanks.

Citizen of the United States

[-] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, but one of them has an actual name so no one has to call it that

Also, Dude, American is not the preferred nomenclature. USian, please.

[-] Kallestar@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Jeez, Davel, I'm not talking about the guys who expelled the fucking British empire from their tyrannical petite bourgeoisie slave kingdom here.

[-] VirgilMastercard@reddthat.com 5 points 1 day ago

Sounds like a term created by those people who get weirdly upset at Americans being called Americans because "America is 2 continents so technically everyone from North and South America is American"

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Can't blame them who the fuck would want to get associated with USians

Shouldn't the term be USAian?
Would have issues when expanded, but someone above mentioned that Mexico is United Mexican States

[-] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Yew-ess-ay-ian doesn't flow like yew-ess-ian.

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

I prefer usonian myself, but there's no official name shorter than "citizens of the US".

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Yea, because it is weird, you dolt. It’s literally just because it’s easier to say that it stuck, but it’s flatly useless. The country’s name is stupid, hard to deal with, and pretty much only the reality on the surface…much like the country itself.

I just say “US citizens”. It would probably be more accurate to say “citizens of the USA” buy my fucking god they aren’t worth that kind of effort.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

I don’t usually say “US citizens” because I don’t usually mean only residents with citizenship.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

How about US consumers?

[-] tisktisk@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

I also was hoping it was different from USAian. Needs more 'Merica

[-] protist@mander.xyz 12 points 1 day ago

Speaking as a...USian?...many of us know about these already and are ashamed of them.

[-] Keilik@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

I can assure you that you are giving the general public far too much credit unfortunately.

Remember, the #1 search on google on Election Day was “did Joe Biden drop out”

Jesus fucking christ. I have not read that before, but it is the most believable thing I’ve seen all week.

I’ll look it up tomorrow. I am always curious, but I cannot handle having this fact confirmed to me right now, lol.

26k people killed in the Phoneix Program alone.

Rather than 'american' or others, Yankee? It has historical s
