From a Guy
What does 🇺🇲 mean from a guy?
When a guy sends this, he's probably either genuinely mistaken it for the regular US flag or he's fully in on the ironic meme culture. It’s often used in a 'bro, America' kind of way, but with a layer of self-aware humor or detached observation about the country's quirks, rather than sincere patriotism.
