How do you say it

[ThatLankyBastard]

I usually say, "those guys with the slingshot across the river that still haven't payed for that window they broke last week", or US...

...bastards...

It's been a month and they still haven't payed up...

...bastards...

I tend to say the US, or "the states" when I am talking and typing. I might occasionally say America, but one of my roommates will instantly mention Argentina, Mexico and all that as he has travelled there and yet never been to the states. So I say the states or the US to avoid confusion.

 

[Sun Flash]

The US, if only to distinguish it from Canada and Mexico, as well as the whole of South America. Mainly because I get fed up of people only thinking Britain = England. I have been told before that I am Scottish and therefore not British. Basically, I get pissy over little things.

I don't want to be racist but sometimes we call it yankeeland. No but if you say america people guess you mean usa... Yankee land

 

[YouBecame]

I either call it America or the US.

Or our friends across the pond

 

[retrofish18]

I pronounce it AMERICA!!!!

 

[burningdragoon]

All of the above pretty much. Don't really say "the states" very much though.

 

[seventy two]

I refer to it as The US most of the time, though depending on the tone of the discussion I may say us instead.

 

[Dango]

It varies, although I don't say "USA" very oten for some reason, probably even less than I say "The US of A".

 

[bushwhacker2k]

I usually say the U.S. or America, depends on what time of day, my general mood and my present company.
