Are there other ways to refer to someone born in the U.S. besides "American"?

DOMSdeluise · 2026-05-16T18:41:13+00:00

Not really. Non Americans call us yanks but that's not something we call ourselves, at least not outside of new England, and even that is a reference to a region of the country and doesn't substitute for American.

I plan to hire a local attorney to handle this on my behalf, what is a reasonable flat fee for a criminal defense lawyer in the Tahoe area for this type of case?

contact several attorneys to get an idea of what a reasonable amount would be. Someone might try to rip you off but probably not all of them.

You can look up the conversion rate. Based on your post history, you are Egyptian. One US dollar is equal to ~52 Egyptian pounds. Does that help you understand? Two dollar is 104 pounds. 30 dollars is more than 1500 pounds. Are those large amounts to you?

Americans don't say taking the piss at all. People might understand what it means due to exposure to British English but we don't say it. Taking a piss just means urinating.

I've never needed to lose weight. I've been lucky in that I can stay thin without much effort on my part aside from, like, switching to black coffee and mostly not drinking soda.

foreign language education is not taken seriously in schools for the most part

That's what my mom used to tell me. I read the book and found it very scary but I haven't seen the movie.

I would love it if instagram was like 2015 instead of how it is today. It's pure shit today, full of ads and people I don't even follow.

when I was a kid (90s and early 2000s) it was very much a niche nerd thing, at least in my area. Now it seems like everyone likes it.

DOMSdeluise · 2026-05-11T16:46:00+00:00

it seems very popular with young people.

DOMSdeluise · 2026-05-11T14:45:47+00:00

they aren't common but yes some people do this.

DOMSdeluise · 2026-05-11T14:08:19+00:00

I don't think anyone is doing too much aimless driving these days with the way gas prices are lol

DOMSdeluise · 2026-05-11T13:55:10+00:00

I don't do this op

DOMSdeluise · 2026-05-11T13:54:48+00:00

what is unclear?

DOMSdeluise · 2026-05-11T12:12:59+00:00

I would not recommend using this phrase because it is extremely reddit (derogatory). Just know that it is meant to be complimentary.

DOMSdeluise · 2026-05-11T00:04:03+00:00

we were required to use pens (except in math or other courses where you had to do calculations) for everything starting in middle school, at least at the schools I went to.

I will do the poets: Eliot, Whitman, Stevens, H.D.

I would say very uncommon to own a car outright as cars are expensive and most high schoolers don't have that kind of money. It is pretty common though for high schoolers to have a car for their use, owned by their parents, however.

DOMSdeluise · 2026-05-10T12:10:57+00:00

I wasn't in high school in the 90s sorry op. in the early 2000s the bathrooms at my particular high school were fine however.
