Yank -- Short for "yankee," a term they embrace. Fail. They even sang that song the Brittish used against them in their own favor and named a baseball team after it.
Merkin -- Short for "American." I think this has potential. The only only problem is that Merkins are too dumb to understand it.
Septic -- Cogney slang used because "yank" rhymes with "septic tank." It's quite insulting when you hear the history behind it, but kind of falls on it's face when said alone.
WASP -- Stands for "white Anglo-Saxon protestant," which applies to all white people, not just Americans. Aside from that, it's more offensive on paper than when said aloud.
[Let it be known that I am also very white]
All of these are good, but none have the power of say, "spearchucker" or "greaseball." So, if you could call an American a horribly mean ethnic slur (me included), what would it be?
Peace out, fellow Murkins!
