From Spain here, when we want to speak about USA people we use the term “yankee” or “gringo” rather than “american” cause our americans arent from USA, that terms are correct or mean other things?

    we call them “estadunidense” which roughly translates to “usian”. usians tend not to like it.

    but, like, you call yourself after the entire continent, am i supposed to take it seriously?
