[Vision2020] Shoe-Tossing Rallies in Canada

[Donovan Arnold]

Chas,

If you don't think the terminology is used by those that hate the US, and it is used as a pejorative, I suggest you dig a little deeper into Anti-American culture. 


Best Regards,

Donovan

Here is a little bit on the net to get you going:

 Urban Dictionary

"1.  USian  50 up, 34 down 
 1. Of or pertaining to the United States of America 

2. A Citizen of the United States of America 

A sometimes pejorative term coined in recent years on various internet discussion boards. Meant to resolve the ambiguous nature of the terms "North American," which could be taken to refer to Canada or the United States, and "American," which could be taken to refer to North America, South America, or the United States. 
1. I'm not a fan of all of this USian war-mongering."

 "USian  40 up, 50 down 
 Derogatory term used to refer to citizens of the United States of America. Usually used by those who want to insult the USA or American citizens while loudly proclaiming they are simply trying to differentiate between citizens of the USA and citizens of other nations in the North and South American continents."

 "Fucked Off By Usians"
