Here's something from American Heritage I found on OneLook Dictionary.com:
ADJECTIVE: 1. Of, relating to, or characteristic of a continent. 2. often Continental Of or relating to the mainland of Europe; European. 3. Continental Of or relating to the American colonies during and immediately after the American Revolution. 4. Used as an intensive: “Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine,/The continental liar from the state of Maine.” (Grover Cleveland).
Intense, huh?
