I'm losing it...I just cannot keep up. Live radio/TV feeds from anywhere, 24-hour running news tickers, online magazines/libraries on any academic pursuit, passwords and accounts for 50+ travel, bank and online member services....it's too much! Someone save me from this, this...info-stration!

A term used by inhabitants of Central and South America (and more recently, guilt-ridden American liberals toeing the PC line and people who think that Americans are completely unaware of the outside world) to refer to the citizens of the USA.
Usually, it's followed by the dubious explanation that "America is a continent, not a country" (never mind that much of the world counts it as two and the exact definition of "continent" is fuzzy), the charge that "they're just ignorant" (never mind that, again, Americans count it as 2, and contrary to popular belief, they ARE taught basic Geography in school), and/or cries of "they have no right to the name" (never mind that the USA gained its independence a solid 30 years before any other country on either continent, 50 years or more before most, not to mention that French Guyana and number of outlying islands are STILL under European control, or the fact that the USA is the only country that actually has "America" in its name).
The fact remains that in most languages and in most countries, "America" without any qualifiers refers to the USA, not the continent(s) or whatever shit stain country these people are so ashamed to admit that they're from that they feel the need to co-opt someone else's denonym and get mad at them for using it first. I've never seen a Canadian do it, probably because Canada is awesome, and even if they did, Canadians aren't douchey enough to insist that their way is the only way.
