I'm canadian. I hear not-so-nice things about americans basically every day, especially living in a border city.

Yankee's (I think that one is pretty widely knows)
Sheep
Robots
Rednecks

It's weird that it takes me less than 10 minutes to drive from my country to the U.S, yet the people here have so many negative things to say.
Comments
- I hear "those cocky assholes" all the time in Canada.

- Sheep - follow others, no mind of their own
  
  Robots - Heads are programmed to think a certain way
  
  Remember these are now MY opinions, just regurgitating.

Fallangs (Thailand)
Howlies (Hawaii)
White Devil (Chinese)
Pince Gringo (Mexico)
Baby Killers (Canada)
Fat Cows/Cats (Russia)
Round Eye (Asian in general)
and some others that I cannot pronounce or translate
There is some really good ones out there. Pretty entertaining if you don't take it too personal...

Though an American, I've worked internationally much of my life, and traveled the globe.

My direct experience in and with citizens from over 100 countries confirms that every people in the world calls us "Americans" -- however spelled and/or pronounced and/or inflected with the necessary suffix (e.g., Americano, Americanski, KonAmeriga [that's Thai for: Thai for "a Thai" is KonThai and "a Laotian" is KonLao])... though some prefer to use slang terms for us, most notably the Brits (who like to call us "Yanks".

No one but leftist PC University Professors in the Spanish Department and their pupils call us "Norte Americanos" (North Americans) ... a stupid (and totally invented) designation in the first place, as Panamanians, Mexicans,Belizeans, Costa Ricans, Nicaraguans, Guatemalans, Salvidorans, Hondurans and Canadians are also from North America. I've never met anyone in Latin America who called themselves "Americans/Americanos" or us "North Americans/Norte Americanos" ... and I've known hundreds from every country and region from Baja to Tiera del Fuego.

- I don't like to be called a yank :(

- I like the German version better.
  It beat being called a Yank.
  That doesn't even sound pleasant.

Yanks.
And 'americans'... not meaning anybody from the continent of either n or s america, but anybody from the US. If I want to talk about south americans, I put the south bit in there, and if I want to talk about canadians, I say canadians, despite them being in north america.

English.

Yanks. England.
Comments
- FYI - that is so annoying as a US citizen to hear.
  Great answer though.
  Why is that the most preferred term in your area?
  It's as though the Revolutionary War was yesterday and I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, I used to drink Scotch but now I like Brandy.

- I don't know why we call you that, I know nothing of American history, but as far as I know it is the only term that anyone uses in England.

US citizens, many people in the world have a dim view of the United States of America since George Bush took office. Does that bother you or do you feel it is irrelevant what the world thinks of your country?

America.- Do you think that it is fair that the United States has individualized the term "America" to refer to themselves? America is a continent composed of dozens of countries. Why do people fall to the brainwashing of the egocentric US?
