Is it true that many Americans consider "overseas" to be every other country besides the Nort American countries?

Yes, because it is. Have you ever heard of the Pacific or Atlantic Oceans?

is it true that people "overseas" use an american cartoon, with a disgusted face, to lay some bullshit on an image bulletin?

Well, I'd say that term is used mostly for Europe/Asia. I never hear anyone say it about Hawaii for example, even though it is "overseas". It's just colloquial speech; most people probably don't even realize what they are saying.

Yeah, because every country except the ones in North America are pretty much inaccessible without going overseas. Over some sort of sea, or ocean, ect.

Unless you want to hike across the Darien gap to get to Columbia, which you can't, because you'll die, your going to have to take a boat or plane to get to these countries.

I've never heard it applied to Canada or central America, sometimes to South America. It's not like we can travel there by land anyway, the land bridge is covered in jungle & savages.

YES EVEN NEW ZEALAND. YOU WILL FIND THERE IS THE TASMAN SEE BETWEEN AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND. HOWEVER SINCE IT IS ONLY ONE SEA AND NOT PLURAL SEAS, PERHAPS IT WOULD BE MORE ACCURATE TO SAY OVERSEA, RATHER THAN OVERSEAS.

I'm American, and...

Wow, I never thought about this. But I've never heard someone say "I went overseas to Nicaragua". Then again, nobody I know goes to shitty countries (any country that isn't canada/u.s.a. but is in the Americas)

They use it for countries that require traveling overseas to reach. Amazing isn't it?
