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.

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
