americanization

Americanization is the process of editing out offensive material in Anime and Manga from Japan, who's population isn't as uptight as the Protestants we have here, in the US. This often does NOT improve the quality of the anime. Cool action scenes (violence), descriptive language (expletives), intimate moments (nudity), and shounen/shoujo-ai (homosexuality) is often affected.
Americanization? You mean the castration, neutering, spaying, and female-circumcision process being used by VIZ Entertainment?

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."

Americornization 

The process by which foreigners living in the US find their tolerance for cornyness significantly increased, i.e. by getting teary-eyed when watching a presidential address, developing a need to cry and tell your friends you love them on a daily basis, or by getting strongly emotionally involved in the Chris Brown/Rihanna affair.
Terry: Wow, did you see that exchange student tear up while Obama talked about the whispers of the dead soldiers in Arlington?

Jane: I know, it didn't take long for Americornization to kick in

Americanisation 

Where somehow the unpleasant and unloving way of living life is somehow attractive and everyone else in the world tries to copy, ultimately making the world a much less nice place.
There is this guy in School. Everyone hates him but unfortunately he has loads of money, meaning he has power (that's how things work in the primitive economic world of the school yard) so everyone pretends to agree with him, and picks on the people he doesn't like.

George: I hate that like Iraqi kid.
Tony: Yeah! Me too!
George: Let's beat him up!
Tony: Yeah!

Eventually, all the other kids will gang up on the other guy and beat him up, and it'll be the ones that got really picked on - like the Iraqi kid and the Vietnamese one - who will be kicking him where it hurts. But when they kick him in the testicles, they won't call it that. They won't be kicking in the goolies, the couille, the ÿéöî, the Ei, or any of their traditional words for the gonads. They'll be kicking him in the nuts, and that's americanisation for you.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
