What the hell is a "provincial American"?

    You don't know the meaning of the word provincial or do you mean you've never encountered it in this context?

    Of or relating to a province.

    Yeah as I thought. Given that America has no providences, my question was more than fair.

    That's not how you use the term. Provincial as an adjective isn't solely tied to geographic distribution in counties that formally use provinces as a regional government form.

    I explained what I meant in other reply.

    I honestly thought you know what I meant and were trying to discuss something else entirely. Sorry about that.

    Ah I see, as I expected, just trying to sound smart. Otherwise you would've just explained it

    That was a genuine question, I thought you knew what I was saying and questioning the very existence of the concept.

    Americans with a provincial outlook; a belief that local mores are the only legitimate way to look at things, lack of interest in different/new ideas.

    I suspect you're repeating something you've heard a lot

    And you've nothing of value to add so why insist on writing meaningless drivel?
