A polemical term used to describe people from the United States of America. For historic and cultural reasons, people from the States refer to themselves as "Americans", whereas in all of Latin America, the word "américano" refers to anyone from the Americas. Therefore Latin Americans refer to people from the States as "estadounidenses" (United Statians) rather than "americanos".
Due to Americans obliviousness of this issue of transcendence in Latin America, a Chilean group has even written a song that describes American mentality when thinking of Latin America. It is entitled: “Latin America is a town south of the United States.”
Many Latin Americans would like to change the English term "American" to "United Statian" and the word "American" to refer of all people from the Americas (North, South and Central). It is an issue heatedly discussed in many forums on the internet.

Nick: Why do Latin Americans want to call us United Statians?
Jen: I think they´ve got a bit of an inferiority complex, I´ve never had a Canadian challenge my definition of "American".

Get the United Statians mug.Although a country bloated on consumer economy and Big Mac's, the United States of America is diverse, free, and varied in ecosystems and landscapes. People of other nations seem to convienently forget that the USA hands out millions of dollars (and probably more) to charities, relief efforts, foreign aid, and education, among other things. The USA has faults, like *every other country in the entire world*. But it seems to me the downtrodden people sneaking into America are biting their tongues...
The United States government has remained stable for over 200 years. And I can't recall the last incredibly bloody "revolution", so much like the European ones, that's happened here...

Get the Manchester United mug.A vietnamese gang in southern california. The leader is Chuckie Aikenz. This fobby vietnamese gang named themselves after g unit. They usually rap with heavy vietnamese accents talking about their life. They roll with about 100 gooks everywhere, from the mall, movie, parks. You can see them rolling in their hondas with hooked up rims. Becareful when you see the v unit, give them respect because they don't leave their house without their AKS. You can hear them comming from 10 miles away because when they are not blasting rap, they usually blast heavy vietnamese musics.
Hey man, the v unit are comming. How are you sure. Can't you hear the music? Du ma tu may...VVVVV UNOT

Get the United States of America mug.Sorry to tell you this (Actually im not) but 50 cent's rap does in fact suck. Rapping about how he had sex with some random chicks, how is this meaningful music and why would someone care about it? A lot of kids listen to his crap (im talking about 13 year olds) and idolize the dude, why?
Because he is supposedly "Gangster" I ask you, what happend to any trace of good in the world, that kids idolize 50 cents gang? Do yourself a favor and listen to some real music.
