Note: I have not verified this but I’ve found this title used for U.S. If you did the same in Japanese, it would be exactly the opposite meaning. Americans say "rice-burner" for a Japanese car, and "rice-rocket" for a Japanese motorcycle. The Kanji for rice is often used as an abbreviation in front of words (like a sub-adjective) to make something "American".
