America has some weird shit going on compared to other empires in history. I think the term probably started as a cope when Britain decided to stop pursuing retaining it as a colony, but that's just speculation on my part. It's not a dog whistle related to Joe Almighty Forgetter of Spaghetti or anyone, I promise
