EN: American (male)
Colloquially, "Kano" for short. The dude your Pinay tita married and now she's living her best life in California. Also, a type of coffee that's basically espresso with hot water, for when you need that caffeine kick but can't handle the pure strength, just like how we sometimes need to 'water down' our feelings.
From Spanish 'americano'.
