Fit fit fits fit fit?

(That's technically 2 words, with one said 4 times. There's 2 different meanings of it though)

Wait, what? Are you serious? Oh my gosh. This is news to me. Just... wow. Does everyone else know this?

Pretty much everyone except people from "America", that is, the US.

Hint: People from Brazil are Americans.

Sorry if I missed the "/s" in your post

Pretty much everyone except people from "America", that is, the US.

Well that is a broad generalization spoken from a place of ignorance. I promise you that the vast majority of Americans (that is, people from the U.S.) know about the Americas (that is, the continents).

That being said, colloquially, the term "America" generally refers to the United States. And that's true most everywhere, not just in the U.S.

Most people will say "North", "South", or "Americas" (plural) when talking about the continents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas

Click on the language button, you'll see the continents are called singular America in most languages (Spanish, French, German, etc...)

Afaik people in South America tend to refer to the continents as America as well, and say "united stadians" to people from the US

well tbf 'From America' actually fulfills the country in 2 words request because US Americans are the only Americans egocentric enough to claim the term 'America' for themselves
