    The term “Yank” is incredibly loaded with all kinds of stereotypes the world over, but it has a very different meaning in the US.

    Haha, Americans are fat. I mean, it’s true: American obesity is about 40 percent. I blame wheat.

      It’s probably the government-subsidized corn syrup but wheat works too

    There are a over 48 million African Americans, so does anyone know some insulting words or phrases people use against them?

    Then we can move on to the > 60 million Latinos (there will be some overlap).

    It’s important to recognize US diversity when dreaming up insults.

      Or you know, you could not focus on race, and just insult Americans as a group … oh wait, is that your insult?

        It’s Cockney rhyming slang. If you want to come up with a slang term for a something, you take something that rhymes “yank → septic tank” and then cut it down “septic tank → seppo”

          Jeebus, that’s a lot of work. “Americans are loud and smell bad” seems so much easier.

          Maybe Americans are lazy time efficient with their communications. What a zinger.

            Part of the point (the whole point?) of rhyming slang is that it’s opaque and convoluted. That’s what makes it fun. It also makes it a bit of a shibboleth - you only understand it if you’re part of the culture.

            If you’re eating with an Australian and they ask you to “pass the dead horse”, it means they think you’re Aussie enough to know what it means. Or they know that you won’t know what it means and they’re fucking with you intentionally.

    Yankee, Yank, Yanqui

    Seppo I guess but that doesn’t hit as hard because silly

    “Freedumb” is another one that’s too silly to really be offensive

    I’ve mostly heard ‘yanks’ in English. I don’t know if Japanese slang specifically has a word for USian foreigners as most situations don’t really care about which country and, if more specificity than ‘foreigner’ is required, it’s usually going to be some adjective/descriptor (loud, rude, skin_color_here, etc. in the case of people being those things).

    The only actual slur I know of is that North Koreans call Americans “white devils”. Which is ironic if you know North Korea’s racial demographics compared to America’s.
