Term used to refer to something purely American, usually specific to the United States, in the face of an international audience.

While it is true that many companies and entire cultures are “attached at the hip”, it may be said that an understanding and acceptance of the international nature of the world is still relevant.

Canadians, of note, are particularly aware of the american-centricness found in media and culture. Their culture, language, entertainment, media and even military interact with regular closeness. It has been said that the one thing which defines a Canadian is that they’re not Americans.
