Americans can be referred to with more general terms in many languages, calling them pigs, monkeys, dogs, gays, p*ssies, etc., though these terms often refer to non-Americans, even people of their own ethnic.

"Amis" in Germany. It is just a short form for Americans. Sometimes people call America "Amiland" for fun. I can't think of any other slang word for Americans in German (but it may exist).
