minus-squarethemadcodger@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·29 days agoYeah, I sometimes say USAian or United Statesian, but that obviously doesn’t flow. It exists in other languages, but not English.

Continents don’t actually have an agreed upon meaning, so… it’s just, like, my opinion man.

minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·29 days agoTo be fair, South Americans have a lot of very legitimate reasons to be angry at the US.
