An alternative word for an American?
It just occured to me. There has been talk for years about what citizens of the US should call themselves since American could applie to anyone in the Americas. Unitedstatians sounds silly. How about Unioners? I guess Yankee will always be teh obvious one, but since it is often used as a derogatory name overseas (and in the south), it's a tough sell. Maybe as tough as Unioners.
