Amerigance

Amerigance is the patriotisim and pride that most Americans show regarding their country. It is blindly believing they are the best at everything without actually seeing who else is in the game. It is assuming everyone wants to be like them, and it is thinking the rest of the world would be lost without them. It is also assuming everyone wants or needs their help. It is the astounding ignorance that oozes through the pores of every small town in the USA. Ignorance and Arrogance are the back-bone of every thing they do.
"We live in the best country in the world!" When in fact you have never travelled anywhere else to see what you are missing and your health care is like a 3rd world country.
" We won the World Series, we are the best in the world!" How can you be a world champion when the only people playing are from the USA?

Assuming you are going to win Hockey gold at the Olympics is total Amerigance
Saying you hate other countries that do something better than you is Amerigance

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.

ambidancetrous 

Learning both the lead and follow roles of a social dance, transcending obsolete and confining gender divisions of dance roles.

Learning to be ambidancetrous makes you a better dancer, opens up whole new dance experiences, helps you overcome stodgy gender hang-ups, lets you dance with anyone, and makes you totally own on the floor.
Did you see her just steal the lead in that blues dance? Hot. And the guy is just as ambidancetrous; check out the way he follows body rolls.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
