    Nonce can mean niche yes, though it does add a flavor of derogatory implication to the subject, similar to if not precisely like how pedophiles have uh… ah… “specialized” interests.

    Whether pedophiles themselves have preferred terminology, h-h-how would I know!?! 🤪 It’s funny that we are now discussing our second non-preferred terminology:-).

    I think “Usaian” has caught on, but only among internet incel culture, which is the problem I was warning about. Most people use US-American. Using Usaian then comes across as being meant as an insult.

      first time I ever hear about this.
      haven’t really see it being used anywhere, personally, let alone among incels

      being meant as an insult.

      A lil guilty of that, ngl. It does have a slight derogatory tinge that I’m not particularly opposed to
