Hi all, I'm writing a review and am basically making the point that I'm an unashamed admirer of America (I'll qualify that by explaining that I'm talking about the Apollo era). I know an American who appreciates we British is an Anglophile, but can anyone enlighten me to the opposite complimentary phrase?

Y'know, I don't think there is one.

I'm an unabashed Anglophile on my way to London at the end of this week to visit friends! I don't think there is an equivalent, but my friends would certainly qualify if there were - so you're not alone!

There are a number of terms I can think of:
1. A Fascist
2. A Fruitcake
3. A politically unaware, intellectually deficient, tory
4. Yankee *****
5. See www.newamericancentury.org for more

since you seem to be the only one...make up your own name.
P.s I am an american and I never did get that whole anglophile thing. I think its mainly because we don't have "royalty" in this country for people to look up to. But I don't see any need to look up to a bunch of inbreed rich peopl who wouldn't know how to do a bit of work if it hit them in the face

prob isnt one cos as a nation we are not good at admiring others. we have always been too busy admiring ourselves. which in itself is rather american isnt it?!!
Above comment is not meant to be derogatory to either us English or the Americans. Tho it is interesting that you felt the need to qualify your "unashamed" admiration!!

Maybe an 'Americanophile' (certainly none of the negative replies other people have posted). Good on you for taking a deeper interest in another country!

I was gonna say "Tony Blair" but that would be a Bushophile, a quite different thing. Especially as America never chose him as president anyway...
