americanaphile

A neologism built analogously to Anglophile, Francophile, and bibliophile, an Americanaphile is a person who admires the American culture including its language, music, movies, books, art, technological innovations, fashion, sports, food, space program, cutting edge medicine, Ivy League universities, natural wonders, tourist attractions such as Disneyland, and the lifestyle; an Americana enthusiast or aficionado.
Although Halloween is no longer celebrated in some neighborhoods due to fears of candy tampering, some Americanaphile teachers in foreign countries still enthusiastically promote and teach about the holiday in their classrooms.

I met a lot of friendly Americanaphiles during my study year abroad. They love the Simpsons, Friends, Seinfeld, That 70's Show, House (the medical show), ER by Michael Crichton, The Muppets and Sesame Street, Snoopy, Calvin and Hobbs, Disney films, Startreck, Star Wars, Terminator film series, Will Smith, and Tom Hanks, Jennifer Aniston, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Madonna, Elvis, Sinatra, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, The Doors, Van Halen, Guns’N'Roses, The Eagles, Michael Jordan, Lance Armstrong, Rocky Balboa, Muhammad Ali, Indy 500, The Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountains, beautiful beaches, Starbucks, McDonald's, etc.

Universal American School of Dubai (UAS)

The world's most problematic High School, 2019.

Freshman: DRAMA. The guys in the grade think they're the shit when their faces are full of acne and unibrow, and their teeth look like traffic cones. Most problematic and undeveloped grade.

Sophomore: Probably the most unproblematic grade and the grade that is most in unison. other than all the girls in the grade smoking in the last bathroom stall together, they're okay.

Juniors: ART FREAKS. Think their style is the most amazing thing to grace this earth and most of them dream of going to UAL (University of Arts in London) Their grade is also very in unison. THEY LOVE THE SENIORS and like the Sophomores but HATE the freshman, They're so judgmental and rude to them.

Seniors: Love each other so much. Everyone is friends with everyone. Super sweet. All very mature and very developed. THEY LOVE THE JUNIORS.

All American Shit

A recent study suggests that although many Americans appear nice on the outside, they are secretly self-centered porn-addicted eco-oblivious entitled rapists who love nothing more than to buy an expensive car and jack off in it. The blacks? No, actually they're innocent. I was mostly referring to the middle to upper-class white gents who are so detached from reality that they shield their innocent cock-sucking porn-watching girl-stalking teenagers from watching harmless entertainment like South Park.
Today, I got a talking to by an All American Shit. As soon as I realized the situation, I tried to walk away, but I'm black, so I got lynched and, when the police showed up, they participated in the lynching and cheered it on. Fuck America, land of the free and home of the entitled jackasses.

American Idol

An American television show that is part of a collective effort to perpetuate a shallow, one-dimensional view of music. Those with an ability to sing are given a chance at a record contract. Not specifically those with exceptional creative abilities, but those who are able to carry a tune through a verse-chorus-verse-Top 40-3:30 of regurgitated sound. It is made even more ominous by its rabid nation-wide following.
"It's time to evolve ideas. Evolution did not end with us growing thumbs, you do know that, right?" -- Bill Hicks

That example does not use "American Idol" in a sentence, but this does.

American Football

An excellent indie rock/emo band from the 1990s, fronted by Mike Kinsella (of Owen).

Bob Nastanovich: "No way, dude. American Football takes the cake."

Irish person: Feck off Yank

American Eagle

American Eagle Outfitters or AE sells highly trendy clothes targeted at the lucrative teenage population. American Eagle's clothing is usually (I'm saying usually because of course you have the girls who buy like a small when they are a large) less slutty than some of the items you would find at Abercrombie. AE is a great place to find stylish jeans and vintage tees. As an added bonus they always have a great sales rack!
Becka: OMG how much were those awesome jeans?
Alyssa: U won't believe it I got them for $15 on clearance at American Eagle!
Becka: OMG! What a totally great deal!
