A man who has two last names. This is usually because he's a beta male simp who took his wife's last name in addition to his own.
Jeff: Did you hear that Michael added his wife's last name to his own?
Jake: Yeah? I'm not surprised that simp became a hyphenate.

A multifaceted person. A person who has many talents and tricks up their sleeve. Sometimes they can be taken as mysterious.
He can do that too? Wow that guy is such a hyphenate.

Get the Hyphenate mug.
A derogatory term used to describe American of foreign birth or ethnicity,accusing them of allegiance to a foreign country. Originating in the late 1880s, It was later used as a political tool by Woodrow Wilson to provoke hysteria against German Americans or Irish Americans who called for U.S. neutrality in World War
Teddy Roosevelt: "There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all ... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic"
