To redefine the perceived meaning of wealth on earth and brainwash people into pursuing it.

European #1: I would really like some Ranch Dip. It would make me feel rich and classy.
European #2: But Franz, you are a German Lord. How would Ranch Dip make you feel -
European #1: Ein Qviet! I am NOT shplecking to you about zee ranch. It has a taste that makes me feel as though I am fighting Indians in Texas.
European #2: Das Boot! You have become...AMERICANIZED!
European #1: Indeed. For some reason my rich heritage has become meaningless to me and I only desire material wealth such as Blue Jeans and expensive cars.
European #2: Hmmmm. Do you want to move to California?

americanize

Cardcaptor Sakura was considered an excellent anime by many, but when Sakura and everyone else was Americanized, several fans committed seppuku, even though they weren't worth it.

Americanize

1. To make food unhealthy as possible by loading on excessive amounts of condiments or by cooking it in a deep fryer.

2. To add a large amount of unneeded accessories to something such as a car, house, or any other object or idea that represents the stereotypical American lifestyle.

1. The Chinese food in America tastes much better than the real food that people eat in China. The cheap Chinese restaurants must be Americanizing their food with excessive amounts of trans fats to make it taste better.

2. Customer at a deli- "I'll have the turkey sandwich. I see the option of 'Americanize It!' on the menu. What does that mean?"

Employee- "That means with all of the toppings plus a bucket of grease."

3. Jack blows all of his money Americanizing his car such as buying spinners, spoilers, and a $5,000 sound system. No wonder he's always broke.

2. We need to Americanize these flanges because the valves from europe are crap.

Each Americanism subverts the integrity of the English language.

Radical Americanisation

The spread to the rest of the world, particularly western nations, of the 'look at me' type of social behaviour perpetuated (and often glamourised) on US centrered social media. Examples can include when non US citizens use the American Constitution, FDA rulings, etc as a cornerstone for shaping their views on the internal goings on in their own countries, common crutch relied on by people many would consider 'conspiracy theorists' and others seeking validation through moral superiority.

"It's kind of sad how everyone is unfriending Ludwig" "Yes, his radical Americanisation has made him unbearable to be around. Who cares if the FDA has approved it or not? We live in Germany."
