        Bah! Use a particular state if you know it. Otherwise American serves as well as European.

            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 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.
