I prefer usonian, but ppl seem to hate that even worse. Much shorter than saying "US citizen", and also not going along with the US cooption of the term america.
I find Burgerlander just rolls off your tongue easier
I’ll also accept Burgerstani & Statesian.

I use Yank. I understand some Yanks think Yank only applies to New Englanders. I don't care, they're all Yanks.

The hell is a USian?
Citizen of the United States
There are two United States.
Yes, but one of them has an actual name so no one has to call it that

Also, Dude, American is not the preferred nomenclature. USian, please.
Jeez, Davel, I'm not talking about the guys who expelled the fucking British empire from their tyrannical petite bourgeoisie slave kingdom here.
Sounds like a term created by those people who get weirdly upset at Americans being called Americans because "America is 2 continents so technically everyone from North and South America is American"
Can't blame them who the fuck would want to get associated with USians
Shouldn't the term be USAian?
Would have issues when expanded, but someone above mentioned that Mexico is United Mexican States
Yew-ess-ay-ian doesn't flow like yew-ess-ian.
I prefer usonian myself, but there's no official name shorter than "citizens of the US".
Yea, because it is weird, you dolt. It’s literally just because it’s easier to say that it stuck, but it’s flatly useless. The country’s name is stupid, hard to deal with, and pretty much only the reality on the surface…much like the country itself.
I just say “US citizens”. It would probably be more accurate to say “citizens of the USA” buy my fucking god they aren’t worth that kind of effort.
I don’t usually say “US citizens” because I don’t usually mean only residents with citizenship.
How about US consumers?
I also was hoping it was different from USAian. Needs more 'Merica
Speaking as a...USian?...many of us know about these already and are ashamed of them.
I'm going to bet that if I did one of those street interview things with the question: "Do you know what operation condor is? Do you know what the phoenix program is?" I'd get maybe 1 usonian out of 300 that would have even heard of them.

26k people killed in the Phoneix Program alone.
Rather than 'american' or others, Yankee? It has historical s
Yankee doesn't have an s
Ok, how about yahtzee? It almost has an s.
see that's better. plus it rhymes with their regime.
