1. (Formal) A resident of the Americas, most commonly used to name a citizen of the United States
2. (Real) As an American citizen, I hate calling myself an American, here are my reasons.
Americans are
ignorant and respond to anything different from what they are accustomed to as being "stupid" or worse than theirs.
America's most favorite liquid is gasoline, which they eagerly feed over-sized vehicles
Americans cannot pronounce Rrr, they say are.
Americans cannot realize how stupid they actually are being and how limited their knowledge is.
Americans have no taste in
culture,
architecture, or any form of something other than
fast food and
television.
The American dream was long-ago demolished from its original European descents during the time of the founding fathers into an ignorant and tasteless existence in identical neighborhoods of the same homes, same cars, same food, etc that is saved from mass-suicide by television and stubborn nationalism.
All that being said please do realize that they are not truly horrible people, and this does not describe everyone who is a documented member of the USA.
I saw a guy who thought a bidet was a urinal and when I told him that was not what he thought it was he ridiculed it and described it as homosexual, naturally it ocurred to me to be an American.
