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.

    For the non-Australians, Yank rhymes with Septic Tank, thus seppo

    The funny thing is it’s always South Americans trying to force their cultural norms on others and getting angry.
