Wednesday's UWD

Urban Word of the Day:  amereigner

Definition:   A person born in America, who is in an American city in which they appear to be a foreigner due to a predominantly non-native population.  This usually includes a language other than English spoken by most people at retail establishments.

Used in a Sentence:  I have no clue what kind of business that store does, since I don't speak Hindi.  I'm just an amereigner!

  1. Sometimes I feel that way when I'm visiting my son. Everyone seems to be on their own schedule and speaking Spanish. Good to have a term to put along with the feeling.

  2. My comment isn't showing up....hopefully, it will later. I was just saying that I feel this way sometimes when I visit my son. It feels weird when you are still in your own country and can't understand what the people around you are saying.
