Happy 4th July America. Enjoy the boozing, eating, and whatever other stereotypical stuff that TV shows and films present you as doing.

But the word Pete used has a very specific meaning, which Google will no doubt find for you.

"Merkin" was being used by people in other English-speaking countries to refer to Americans when I first stumbled across the Internet in 1996. The Australians also call us "seppos." The Canadians seem to polite to use either of those. Some of the British were shocked that "merkin" didn't make us feel insulted. We just laughed about it.

But certainly more amusing that the misuse did pop up though.

A call back to Dubya who had me in stitches every time I heard this particular phrase.

Dubya also used to threaten to do terrible things to "tourists".

I'd forgotten that one. Tourists, and the causes of 'tourism.

When I was in high school, there was a teacher with that as a last name. Hilarity ensued. She was not respected by the students.
