Of or related to the United States of America; term coined by Frank Lloyd Wright to refer to his new ideal for architecture. This word is preferable to "American" since there are dozens of countries in North and South America. In some Latin American countries, such as Brazil, the use of "American" to refer to US nationals is considered offensive and officially discouraged.
While Canadians and Usonians share a common heritage and close proximity, there are some subtle cultural differences.

usenet nod 

To acknowledge a statement by not replying.

The assumption is that all involved heard/read what was said (as would usually be the case on small Usenet newsgroups), all agreed upon it enough not to object, and no one had any objections, so the statement is presumed to have been heard and acknowledged.

Usenet, or Unix User Network is a communications medium in which users read and post textual messages (called "articles") to a number of distributed bulletin boards (called "newsgroups"). The medium is sustained among a large number of servers, which store and forward messages with one another. Usenet is of significant cultural importance in the networked world, having given rise to, or popularized, many widely recognized concepts and terms such as "FAQ" and "spam".

Uyeniee by KriDefiner April 18, 2011
A word used by American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, to refer to the United States of America, (a mouthful of syllables often abbreviated as just "America"). "Usonian" citizens are just astute enough to realize that "America" is actually an entire continent, containing many countries, and that referring to one's self as "American", when visiting one's continental neighbors, is a slighting faux pax, as they too are Americans. Sadly, when the enlightened Usonian introduces himself as such, he is looked upon as strangely odd and consequently avoided. Hence, most Usonians stay at home, seeking enlightenment from the comfort of the couch, the TV and the refrigerator.
I am now and have always been, simply and proudly, a Usonian.
