Americanize

To take something that was designed in another country or area and redesign or remanfacture to accept american standard units of measure or fit more closely to the stereotypical american mindset.

1. This tractor only accepts a fuel pump that has to ship from overseas and is twice the price of an american replacement.

"Let's Americanize that shit!!"

2. We need to Americanize these flanges because the valves from europe are crap.

Permatize

To make something permanent that was once temporary, optional or unsafe to be permanent.

1. The safety electrical breaker kept tripping so we permatized it by hard wiring the connection.

2. My sandals kept falling off so I permatized them by sewing them to the bottom of my feet.
