Americonceit

That uniquely psychotic extent of unfathomable narcissism that is just taken for granted as American culture.

Subverting democratic elections in foreign countries in order to install brutal buddy dictators, and then using the presence of their evil regime as an excuse to invade their land, take control of it, and begin extracting their resources? That's not just arrogance -- that's Americonceit.

Americancentric

An American biased perspective of a global event.

That news coverage was americancentric. They need to be more objective.

Americocentric

Adj.: A well-documented tendency of internet memes and surveys to ask questions about stuff that has absolutely no relevance to people outside the US.

What an effing Americocentric question! Now, excuse me while I go drink some wine with a delicious goat's cheese and maybe some force-fattened goose liver!

Americocentrism

1. The mindset that the United States/U.S. culture is the default and the immediate assumption that everything pertains to it unless stated otherwise.

2. Thinking that the U.S. is the centre of the universe and everything revolves around it.

Americocentrism is pretty easy to find, especially on the internet.

Ex. 1: A reddit user is talking about an experience of theirs and mentions that they went out drinking with some friends when they were 18-20 and some commenter thinks that they were drinking illegally despite the fact that OP never mentioned what country they were in, or what the legal drinking age is.
Ex. 2: Someone tells you that you spelled "centre" wrong.
Ex. 3: Someone who thinks that America is better than every other country and assumes that every other country wants to be America.
