Enjoyed this a lot, OP. Thanks for the chuckles.

Others get mad at you and call you an ugly American. These people you label haters.

You further accuse them of having a fauxbia - thereby putting a whole new spin on the linguistic concept of faux amis.

More and more Americans start coming over to France and saying they are French. Their tourist visas expire and the French government tries to send them home but they refuse to go, saying that inside they are French, and must be accepted as citizens.

In loud, rude, aggressive voices typical of "ugly Americans," these Yank interlopers constantly repeat the catchphrase, "But we just want to oui!"

I call it a fauxlva, although fauxbia would fit too. As does fauxgina.
