African American

Generally refers to Americans who have emigrated or are the descendants of those emigrated from the African continent. Sometimes this term is used erroneously to refer to all people of brown skin that are not Latino or Native American.

england vs america

An ongoing rivalry between the most idiotic dregs of English and American society. No matter how the argument begins, it generally amounts to misinformed/biased historical citations and ridiculously stereotypical insults being thrown back and forth between both parties. It is more often than not an exercise in which everyone openly displays their narcissism and ignorance while releasing pent up aggression that would be better focused toward the government official or representatives responsible for the political offense rather than "Random American/English Citizen #1,035."

In other words, a colossal waste of time that gives haters an excuse to hate and further deepens the misunderstandings/cultural boundaries between the two supposedly allied nations.
Hey, did you see that topic about England vs America? They all sound like ass holes.

Some common arguments in England vs America: "I'm not a Brit! You're a Yank!" "My country saved your country so HA." "Because you're a ___ you're obviously ___, ___, ___ and ___ so I hate you and anyone like you! Now, respect my opinions and nationality. >:(" "<ANYTHING regarding WWII or the American Revolution>"

Blackfrican-American

When African-American is too stiff and boring, and black doesn't give enough of a nod to the need for equality or the years of oppression, you need to create a new term to blaze new territory.

Blackfrican-American is that term.

Aerican Empire

The Aerican Empire is a micronation, consisting of the imaginary planet of Verden, the northern hemisphere of Pluto, and 2.91 square kilometers on the surface of Mars. It also claims to own Parrwater, (a lake in Canada,) The Pasture (a random pasture somewhere in the American Midwest), Earth Colony, (a small house in Montreal, Canada,) Psyche, (50 square kilometers of land east of Melbourne, Australia,) Chompsville, (one square kilometer of land somewhere east of Psyche,) and Retsaot Island (a 400 square meter island in the middle of a lake in Ashburton, New Zealand).
The national religion is Silinism, in which the believers worship the Great Penguin, know as the Forsteri. The holy text of this religion is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Though not widely accepted as a real nation, its citizens are very patriotic, and anyone can become a "citizen" by going to their website (aericanempire.com) and saying that you want to be one.
John claimed to be from Verden, but everyone knew that he lived in his mom's basement. His citizenship in the Aerican Empire did nothing to help his case.

United States of America

Thumbs down, Thumbs up, or whatever you want, but at leat hear me out first.----------

The country located between Mexico (to the south) and Canada (to the north).

Most people hate the USA for being imperfect, but they fail to see the TRUE America

1) Not everyone here is an obnoxious prick. There are some acctually informed and nice people here, as well as assholes, just like in EVERY OTHER COUNTRY.

2) Of course we are proud to be American, but that doesn't mean we are arrogant. If you are not proud of your country, then why do you live there?

3)Not every American is diebetic and fat, so shut the fuck up.

4)Yea, we know that some countries dislike us, we also know that we have allies as well. And we DO know that there are other countries that exist beyond the USA. Were not as retarded as you think.

5)We know our government is not perfect

6) Unfortunately, most people judge us before they even know us

Now before you get upset, im not saying there os no country that understands the USA
The United States of America is home to the largest Naval Base in the world, in Norfolk, Virginia. And also the oldest constitutuion that is still in effet today.

Most Non-Americans: Say, are you American?

Non-Ignorant American: Yes.

Most Non-Americans: I can smell the arrogance and hamburgers on you from here! Get away from me----

American: I honestly have no response to that :|

***I am proud to be american, as you are proud to be whatever nationality you come from.

American

People who reside in Northern or Southern America, but usually pertaining to the United States. Contrary to popular opinion, not all Americans are fat, eat at McDonalds, drive 4 SUVs, or think their country is the best.

Many Americans I know eat like normal people though. Last time I checked there, I have seen more ads for healthy, organic food than for McDonalds. It wasn't like that a few years ago though.

SUVs are becoming less common, and there is now a growing number of Hybrids on the road. Driving a Peugot around on an interstate highway wouldn't be as safe as a Prius, but still very efficient.

Americans also aren't stupid at geography either. Most do know that England and Scotland are two entirely different countries.

Not every American is arrogant about their country. The US is the world's lone superpower, but whether it is the "best" is subjective and must be based on many variables. Most the negative definitions about the US come from Americans themselves.

Oh, and you can make fun of American culture, but chances are if you have a computer and internet then you are as greedy a capitalist as they are.

America is a huge country, so there are definitely many nutcases out there, but you can't judge an entire country based on a few pricks on the internet. I have met many people who have traveled to America and had a grand time there. America may not be perfect, but it has a lot to offer if you look in the right places.
Bigoted American: "Our country can kick your ass! Our culture is sooo much better"

Bigoted European: "Whatever, you greedy capitalist yanks"
