The hell is a USian?
Also, Dude, American is not the preferred nomenclature. USian, please.
Jeez, Davel, I'm not talking about the guys who expelled the fucking British empire from their tyrannical petite bourgeoisie slave kingdom here.
Citizen of the United States
There are two United States.
Yes, but one of them has an actual name so no one has to call it that
Very true. Posted this one out of respect for my cousins who correct me when I use United States to refer to the USA.
Then again, they probably use estadounidense as demonym for the USA, right?
lol, they do!
Ask them about it, if possible, please. I'd love to hear about their reaction
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"
Shouldn't the term be USAian?
Would have issues when expanded, but someone above mentioned that Mexico is United Mexican StatesYew-ess-ay-ian doesn't flow like yew-ess-ian.
I prefer usonian myself, but there's no official name shorter than "citizens of the US".
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.
I don’t usually say “US citizens” because I don’t usually mean only residents with citizenship.
How about US consumers?
I also was hoping it was different from USAian. Needs more 'Merica
