As an American, I’m fine with that. Some of us at least have a sense of humor about ourselves. And as an American, I know better than anybody that there’s plenty to make fun of here.
I remember calling a business in Canada and they asked me where I was from and I replied “America.” They replied with “We’re in America, too.” Then I was speaking with a guy from Poland who said he was vacationing in “America” so I asked which state and he said “Roatan.”
But “American” is what people from the USA are usually called.
Yeah, I sometimes say USAian or United Statesian, but that obviously doesn’t flow. It exists in other languages, but not English.
Also, personal nitpick, I don’t love when the continent of America refers to both N and S America.
“But it’s one landmass!!1!” Yeah, so is AfroEurasia. Continents don’t actually have an agreed upon meaning, so… it’s just, like, my opinion man.
You could always go with the classic “Yankee.”
Pope Yippee ki-yay
I love it! Pope Bob rolls off the tongue better though so I’ve decided to go with that one lol
I like the term seppo myself
For the non-Australians, Yank rhymes with Septic Tank, thus seppo
Wait, are you Australian or Cockney?
Australia has a small amount of this type of slang, but its usually more offensive than the mother british type
US American
Usonian?
The funny thing is it’s always South Americans trying to force their cultural norms on others and getting angry.
To be fair, South Americans have a lot of very legitimate reasons to be angry at the US.
Wdym? I’ve always thought this USian thing was just typical Western Europeans + Aus/Kiwis

Sounds about right of them to take more than they are entitled
