How most english people refer to the USA. Frequently heard on BBC radio.
Originated in the 18th century when english impearialists were refering to their american possessions, most of which were in what would later become the USA.
Then the 13 colonies got independence, british possessions were limited to the Hudson Bay Company and Atlantic provinces of Canada (Newfoundland and what had been Acadia under the French) as well as a few islands in the West Indies. Since then Ameriker has been the way the English refer to the first land to break away from the British Empire.

Get the Amelia mug.A black person, typically with poor credit score, who celebrates his poverty by financing a Dodge muscle car at an extremely high interest rate rather than moving out of his momma's apartment.
James: That unemployed black guy has a brand new Hellcat despite the fact that all he does is sell drugs and complain about white people online!
Me: He's the modern version of a Pontiac driver: a Hellcat American. The repo man is never far from those kind.
