Amerisplain

A provincial attitude held by some American's that the United States is the only country in the world that has any merit. It's expressed as a condescending attitude to foreigners as being weird or their culture is in someone a mistake. It's the opposite of being humble or respectful.

American: "I wouldn't expect a European or a Latin American to understand football" .

European: Thanks for the Amerisplain, we've been playing football for over a hundred years and we use our feet to kick the ball, that's why it's called football.

"Dude you eat uncooked fish..you're weird"!!

Weird? Interesting Amerisplain, in my culture we've been eating sushi for longer than you're country has existed.

Amerisplain

verb

(of a United States Citizen) explaining (something about the United States, usually political) to someone, typically apologizing to a minority or immigrant, in a manner regarded as condescending, patronizing or a way to alleviate white guilt. Usually related to politics

This afternoon I cried to our house cleaner as she folded my laundry. I tried, but couldn't explain to her how the election results impacted to her. I felt so sad and ashamed of America.

Seriously, did you just try to Amerisplain the election results to your house cleaner? Not cool.
