A demonym or gentilic for citizens of the USA. It comes from latin languages, such as spanish, italian, french and portuguese, which have a translation conflict when it comes to calling people from the USA and people from the american continent. For those languages, there are different words for both linguistic cases, while popular english has only one.
Due to globalization, the english language became popular and relevant. This fact makes people from other countries, which might mainly speak latin-rooted languages, discover this translation conflict. It makes people wanting to find a way to fix said conflict by using the term "united statian". Alas, some USA citizens find it dumb for many reasons. Often those who reject such term argue that the context of the sentence makes the distinction obvious. Although, it is not obvious for those who learn english as a mandatory second language, or else such problem wouldn't be discovered neither discussed.

Sam: Why do you call US citizens United Statians instead of Americans?
Maria: I find it too confusing! I speak portuguese, so I often find it hard to know if the term "american" refers to me as a south american as well or if the speaker is only referring to united statians!
Sam: I see! I find it weird, but I get your point. After all, there are many people from many countries who might face the same language issue, right?
Maria: Yes, my french husband agreed with me.

Get the Absolute Unitmug. The Texas State Penitentiary. Also know as the Walls Unit and located in Huntsville Texas it is the oldest prison in Texas and the death penalty capital of the United States. It housed the electric chair that executed 362 death row inmates from 1924-1964, all male, before the Furman vs. Georgia US Supreme Court case. From 1982-onwards the Huntsville Unit deployed lethal injection and has executed almost 600 death row inmates.
In 2011 Lawrence Russell Brewer, one of the three neo-Nazi's who murdered James Byrd Jr. requested a large last meal, but refused to eat it. After he was executed by lethal injection the state of Texas discontinued this tradition and all death row inmates are now given what the inmates at the Huntsville Unit are eating for dinner that night with the option of water, tea or fruit punch to drink

Get the Huntsville Unitmug. Some would say that those planes were hijacked on September 11th 2001, well I’d argue that the United States was hijacked.
Damn, it’s really a shame what’s happening to the United States of America. It’s really starting to look like Afghanistan. Only this time the terrorists are the CIA.
