Get the paranoid american mug.When something or someone from a foreign culture is adapted/changed or adapts/changes itself to allign with american culture and/or american standarts. (usually also comes with the underlying perception of american culture as being either superior or "the standart", also read "US Defaultism")
It's a neutral term in itself, but it is most commonly used as a negative in discussions about american imperialism/soft power and it's impact on foreigners and their cultures, products and exports.
Another word used with similar meaning (but more broadly about "global north" cultural impact in other cultures) is "colonized"
Obs: People (usually from the "global north") talking about the same concept in defense of a foreign standart while actually not fully knowledgeable of the cultural context of said standart, usually uses "westernized".

"Friend 1#: It's 32ºC outside, please put on a top and shorts or you'll boil;
Friend 2#: I just don't like exposing myself like that;
Friend 1#: And you're going under the blasting sun with jeans and a hoodie like a wattpad protagonist? stop acting americanized and go put on some decent weather-appropriate clothes then"
"That gas station is so cheap they americanized, now you gotta put your own gas!"
"I hate americanized translations, they only loosely translate the words but not the sentence structure and even make up ones that just doesn't exist in our vocabulary"

Get the American mug.An American can technically be from any of the Americas, but when a person uses "American" in a sentence, they would likely be talking about something or someone from the United States. Like any country, America has her stereotypes, many of which are overexaggerated by people who have never set foot in the USA. An American might be recognized as:
- An ignorant person.
- A fat, lazy bum.
- An uneducated person.
- An uncultured person.
- A loud, obnoxious person.
- A racist.
- A wasteful/extravagant person.
(While Americans may be some, many, or all of these things, it's important to note that "some" does not mean "the majority".)
True American culture is all about freedom, patriotism, equality, hard work, and independence. Like other countries, we share a love of diverse foods, sports, traditions, entertainment, and music. The American Dream is widely believed in. We celebrate special holidays like Thanksgiving, where we give thanks and express gratitude. Many give thanks to God. Independence Day, celebrated on July 4th, where we celebrate with a large party or barbeque, and fireworks. There are also other patriotic holidays, like Labor Day, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day.
From a personal standpoint, America is full of compassionate, hardworking folk who would lend a hand when you're in need. Despite certain differences between one another, we can still agree on the fact that America is a beautiful country and she should be respected and honored.
