People Are Sharing Screenshots Of Cringey Things Americans Say Online (50 Pics)

When I talk to people who aren’t from here I always like to ask what their impression of America is. Sometimes we forget there are other countries out there. So to think that everyone knows what it’s like here is a bit naive. Like, why would and non-American care about the 4th of July if they aren’t from here?

We all have embarrassing facepalm moments at least once in our lives but as soon as you put it online for people to take a screenshot, I can’t help defend you. Freedom of speech is nice but the freedom of taking screenshots of these embarrassing statements is even better.

Lucky for us, there’s a place for people to share these perfect examples of embarrassing things Americans say and it’s cringey.
