I've actually heard 2 locks referred to as an americana, but I think what most people are referring to is if you have the guy in your guard you would, for example, and he had his hands on the ground for support, grab his right wrist with your left hand, sit up into him and bring your right hand goes over his tricep, and under his forearm to your own left wrist. (his right shoulder would kind of be in your right armpit) Sit back, and bring your hands toward your right shoulder at a 45 degree angle. It's a shoulder lock.(you are cranking his arm behind his back, toward his head)
(I just re-read this, and it's a pretty sorry description, but I think you get the idea).
