What is a usanian?

American, from the US of A. I would assume derogatory.

Not necessarily derogatory but America is a continent, there are hundreds of millions of Americans not from the US.

By assuming that the word "American" implies the speaker thinks that way, is derogatory.

Sometimes people simply use words because of a generally accepted dictionary meaning. Like you are doing to read this.

What (dumb) people from not the USA call Americans because "something something you don't own the continents"?

It's the equivalent of calling a white guy a honkey in 2026 - cringe and not going to get the reaction you hope for unless doing it comedically.
