From time to time, some troll has posted to T.O. some inane claim
about U.S. and/or USians. As counterpoint, the following is a link to
a 12-minute Youtube video of how some Europeans use "American" as an
adjective:

It differs by country. In Estonia we do not have bread, coffin, fridge or
bed that is called "American". Overly wide car or smile and odd football
that is not really ball and is rarely hit with foot we call "American" as well. Roller coaster we call "American hills". Sliced potatoes baked with with
bell pepper, onion and/or garlic (or seasoned with powder of such) we call "cowboy potatoes" not "American potatoes".

Lot of bird species that mostly live in America have "American" in name
here. Those very rarely migrate here by some mistake but perhaps enough
to have name.

It's easy. When it's unnecessary XXXXtra large (fridges, cars, Dr Now
patients) it's American. When it's unhealthy (Fast/Junk food) it's
American. When it's fake (snowy white smiles, cordiality) it's American.
When it's infantile and silly (sit coms) it's American. When it's
wielding fire arms it's American. When it doesn't know where Germany,
India or any other country other than the USA is situated on the globe
it's American. When it drives around in a pickup truck with a gun rack,
has a red neck and eats loads of steak it's American. When its has spent
too much money on cosmetic surgery and it shows it's American.

Just a few simple examples of typically American culturalisms.

Perhaps not enough frequent flyer miles.
