My friend calls himself American?

[eieio 1,594]

Us "Murrikans" have this thing we do sometimes when we talk...

Its called "sarcasm"

I know, I know… You Ukrainians have been living in the long shadow of Russia and they aren't known for their robust sense of humor over there (much like the Germans) so we will forgive you…

ONCE...

Make this mistake again though and we take away your card (the greenish-blue one, says hallmark and $6 on the back) and we send you home.

Don't give me stink eye. I didn't make the rules.

What is sarcasm?

I'm Canadian, and quite frankly, even though I live in the USA because the love of my life does, I do not ever want to be referred to as an American until such a time as I may become one, which may likely be never. The term does not come from "North America" or "the Americas" but rather from "United States of America" meaning people who live in the USA, not anyone else living in any other country in either North or South America. Anyone I've met from anywhere else in the world understands the term "American" means someone from the USA and most take it to mean a USC.

However to answer the OP, it doesn't matter as long as he doesn't ever legally define himself as a United States Citizen.

My wife feels the same as you Niki. She will only become a US citizen for financial reasons, but has made it clear she wants to be known as a Canadian. I think it's great that she's proud of her heritage and I kinda dig Canadians too.

My wife says Americans smell and are mean to their wives.

Take a shower you dirty man!
