How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?
Well, everybody born in the american continent is technically "american" too, including Central and South America. Is there a specific term in english for these people?
Edit: Thanks for all your answers, especially the wholesome ones and those patient enough to explain it thoroughly. Since we (South Americans) and you (North Americans) use different models/conventions of continent boundaries, it makes sense for you to go by "Americans", while it doesn't for us.

In Australia we call them cunts.
You call everyone Cunts though.
That's if we like you, if we don't then mate, if we want to physically hurt you with a word, we call you champ.
I'm from the US. I'm familiar with the idea of "Southern Hospitality".
Look at this cunt out here with all the knowledge, bloody legend!
In Australia, you call your mates cunt and cunts mate
Not just down under, if I call you "friend" then I'm pissed
Or Seppos.
For septics?
Or skip the rhyming slang and just say yanks. But usually not to their face, we're toi friendly for that. :P
Calling an American a yank isn't an insult to US. I know it's meant as an insult from some cultures but it's absolutely not insulting to an American lol
Rude, but fair...
