What an effing Americocentric question! Now, excuse me while I go drink some wine with a delicious goat's cheese and maybe some force-fattened goose liver!

Americocentrism

1. The mindset that the United States/U.S. culture is the default and the immediate assumption that everything pertains to it unless stated otherwise.

2. Thinking that the U.S. is the centre of the universe and everything revolves around it.
Americocentrism is pretty easy to find, especially on the internet.

Ex. 1: A reddit user is talking about an experience of theirs and mentions that they went out drinking with some friends when they were 18-20 and some commenter thinks that they were drinking illegally despite the fact that OP never mentioned what country they were in, or what the legal drinking age is.
Ex. 2: Someone tells you that you spelled "centre" wrong.
Ex. 3: Someone who thinks that America is better than every other country and assumes that every other country wants to be America.

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
