According to the internet we always wear horned helmets, wear leather fur vests, drink a lot, live in longboats, pillage England, have long beards, we're tall and have dashingly good looks and we're silent.
Eh, sure. Why not.

Oh, is it just me, or does everyone say "ass" instead of "arse" nowdays, not just Americans?
Im American, but all the stereotypes have been said already. Well, most of the mainstream ones anyway. For me, the most amusing stereotypes about America come out of Japan:
All females are blond and have huge racks, and all males are either big and muscular like Guile from Street Fighter, or big and fat, like Rufus from Street Fighter. Also Americans usually wear sunglasses, have crosses around their necks, or has an American flag tattoo somewhere or wears an American flag on their head. And sometimes all of the above; see Bandit Keith from Yugioh.
And of course, every American owns a gun, has it on them at all times, and will shoot you without hesitation if you so much as breath the same air as them.

I've always thought arse is just a homophone. And newer. And made up.[/quote]benzooka said:
Nah, it's been around for awhile, presumably due to people saying the same thing but with different accents, but the American one seems to be dominant nowdays.

For the California men stereotype, just think of a dumb constantly high surfer going, "Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude." or a Bro,...which would be this guy:

No, you're right. I don't think a lot of people know that "ass" is another word for donkey and that "arse" is your butt. Arse also comes up as an incorrectly spelt word...Odd...America doesn't count it as a word it seems...As well as spelt...thaluikhain said:
