if your not from the united states, what slang word do you use for people who live in the united states?

ex: mexico = gringo...

I think the Japanese refer to all westerners, but particularly Americans, as "gaijin"

-Mikey

My Aussie wife has referred to me (jokingly, I think) as a <b>Seppo</b>.

It's the colorful Aussie (or Cockney) Rhyming slang. Seppo is short for Septic Tank, which rhymes with Yank.

definately the ole "septic tank".

seppo, and yank are the most common terms round here.

but we also have a term, ´...only in America´ - which refers to anything really strange... shows such as the Springer Show generate this term regularly.

Don't assume what you see on Springer is what happens in all of America. That show's fucking weird, even for us.

LOL, yeah heard that one a lot. I guess that's due to how many people are over here in the US. Lots of people = plenty of odd balls.

Only in Amercia can a poor black boy grow up to become a rich white woman (In reference to Mike Jackson).

Yeah...but you can still make it! I think you'd have a really, really hard time filling more than an episode or two here.

I tend to use Seppo most of the time. It's Yank if I'm in particularly refined company.
(By the way, Southerners, please don't be offended, but to us, you're all yanks as well)

MSD

Being American, I hear a good deal of "Stupid" "Idiot" and "Great Satan"

I need to stop watching the news.

TIO

I thought it was fake hair for a region somewhere slightly south of the chest...

Thanks, phred, that about does it for me too.

Personally, I think "infidel" has a nice ring to it.

I've heard a lot of terms used to describe Americans...! Most of the terms referring to the tourists in the LOUD quasi-Burberry check trousers & pink Pringle sweaters who parade annually around central Edinburgh trying to "prove" their Scottish roots by picking up some of their "Clan" Tartan.

At times it almost seemed a shame to tell them that there was NO clan "MacSchwartzenburger"... So one enterprising guy modelled what constitutes "Tartan" and now produces some very authentic looking check patterns through a computer controlled loom for anyone who wants one. He even keeps a database of the "New Clan names" so all the "MacSchwartzenburgers" who go to his shop all get the same tartan!
