Are you an American curious to know what makes it evident to Non-Americans? Me too!
So when I came across the question, “What are obvious immediate giveaways that someone is an American?” I jumped right in to discover these top-voted responses.
“In a museum in London where everyone is speaking quietly, and then BOOM, an American accent out of nowhere just catches you so off guard,” one person commented.
One person said, “I'm Canadian; generally, Americans are far less reserved and love small talk.” “This was one of my biggest culture shocks in Germany. I'm not much of a small-talk person, even as an American.”
One Redditor commented, “Talking to strangers in public. After living in Germany for two months, I was horrified when a stranger on the bus commented on my shoes.”
A Non-American said, “Right? We don't know what Deleware is. Say you're from the states.”Acurrell replied, “I tell them Baltimore, and their eyes light up, and they ask, Like The Wire?!”
