Uniqueness 1 in a MillionYay, both purple and blue were full of America-specific stuff.
Purple was, but blue wasn’t. Only one of them was a fully American thing, and even that should be known outside of America for anyone who has read a book.
All of blue was America-specific.
Two of the purples were America-specific. One of those I was already familiar with.
Spoilers purple
Longhorn is apparently an American breed of cattle. I was familiar with it as the codename for what eventually became Windows Vista.
Longfellow is apparently an American poet. And not one I have ever heard of before. If he’s what you meant should be known outside America…well, he’s not one that appears in Google’s top 9 American poets:
(though if you expand to “see more”, he is the very next one to show up)
Oops, I got my colors switched. I meant only one of purple was American specific.
Tap for spoiler
Longhorn is also an English breed of cow. Longfellow, while an American poet, is still known outside of America for anyone who’s read a book of poetry.

Oh, neat.

Not one I’ve ever heard of. I think the only American poet who we studied (more than just one or two poems) in my literature course was Frost. It was mostly Shakespeare, Romantic British & Irish poets, and WWI poets like Sassoon & Owen.
And considering one of his most famous poems (based on what Wikipedia chose to mention in the lede) is about an important event in the American founding myth, and another one is basically a retelling of an Indigenous American folk myth, I feel pretty confident in saying that yes, this is a very American-centric entry that most non-Americans, even educated non-Americans, could not be expected to know.
