Usa

Usa: pronoun. The word usa is a modern day jarjarism, a figure of speech adopted from the expressions used by Jar Jar Binks. Most people who use this word do so unintentionally and tend to mean the USA, but the structure of the English language tends to reveal the intended meaning before substantial damage can be done. The word usa is roughly equivalent to the word "you," but it takes years of practice in jarjarism and jarjarian behaviour to develop a fine sense of hearing for when the word is appropriate and when it isn't.
