With the Norwegian government recently deciding to massively increase the US military presence in this country, I just really want to have some derogatory way of referring to Usonians in the Norwegian language. The problem is that I cannot find any good word for this: existing words fall short; foreign words I’m familiar with either don’t translate well, or don’t sound good when loaned, or aren’t easily understood; and I’m having a hard time coming up with a brand new word to fill this gap myself.
I’m hoping that by asking here that I might be able to find some inspiration, or perhaps even be enlightened about a Norwegian-language term that I didn’t know before.
As a commie, I don’t think there’s anything more insulting than calling me what I am: an american.
Ppl from central and south america, and the caribbean, generally resent the Usonians usurpation of that term, because americas originally referred to both continents. ppl from Bolivia, Ecuador, or Haiti are americans.
Those are truly fighting words.
