Bye, bye, Miss Unitedstater Pie, LOL..
I guess after the 'whiskey and rye' the 'good ole boys' wouldn't know the difference anyhow ...

So we need a three-syllable term to fit nicely in the mythic literature, eh, yes i see what you're saying, quite right .... yanqui won't do it, but the dimunitive yanquito would ... southroners and maybe the hawaiians might look askance at that though ..... how about unclesams .... a bit teutonic perhaps, ending in a non-vowel and all, difficult to rhyme

If you decide, or it is decided for you, to make the current dynasty permanent, you could use bushista .... easily converted without conspicuous use of poetic license to four syllables, bushistani .... to two using french, bushiste ... yes, a lot of flexibility here ... arguably more than in their tiny minds eh, lol

[edit] - ooops i've miscounted [my excuse is it's friday] - ah-MEH-ri-cuh, that's four syllables not three ... of course to the good ole boys it's MUR-i-kun anyway .... but hmmm, this may require a period of thought exceeding the fifteen minutes of the edit window

[edit 2] - no it didn't - unclesammies ... yes that's it
