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, too, wish to never encounter an unitedstatian
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)
Just call them burgers
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.
