Its weird, yanks was around from WWII US=yanks, Germany+ Jerry, English + Tommys. Though here, yanks were those above the MasonDixon line, below the line, Hicks, country boys, southerners. I just prefer a more regional Georgians, not to be confused with the former Soviet republic. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Finalday Until that final day.<A href=´http://www.lastdaysministries.org/´ Target=_Blank> /Keith Green</a> (1953-1983) <A href=´http://www.saltshakers.com/´ Target=_Blank><img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle></a> Edited by - Finalday on 2/19/2004 5:19:43 PM

all americans are yanks to me, makes life so much easier

Americans, eh? Unless you conquered the rest of your continent overnight I don´t think I´ll be calling you that anytime soon. What I <b>can </b> do is start calling you Yank, Hick or Yank/Hick<img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> depending on what knowledge I have of your origins. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Yankees. Don´t forget that during the Civil War, all Federals were Yankees. All Confederates were Rebels. The Ohio contingent that fought in the war were NOT Buckeyes but Yankees. The State flag for which I think the "Buckeye" became the nickname, was not adopted until 1902. Very technically speaking, only residents the original Confederate States and those States that did not exist at the time of the Civil War can protest to being called a Yankee.

Actually, those federals were bluebellys. Montana, is between midwest to westerner, not yank. And NEVER get an Italian riled. Wolfy, I heard Ted was up your ways.

It is simplier for non-Americans to refer to all Americans as just Yanks. It is amazing to think of the melting pot here and how many Americans actually don´t fit any category of anyone´s defination of a Yank though. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Too big of a country for that. I seriously doubt any recent immigrants from Mexico would believe anyone would call them Yanks. Zeratural comes to mind.

well its very offensive to me <img src=´http://www.cliphoto.com/earth/e-037.gif ´><img src=´http://www.cliphoto.com/earth/e-031.gif ´> this is my world; it goes round and round and round The wolfy types like a cow <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

So it´s like Yanks and Bucks then? What if we just conglomerate the two and call you Yuncks? Seriously though, United Statesians are far to touchy about what they are called. You guys need to lighten up a little and cut down on the political correctness that´s so friggin rife over there. Just think of our good mates in New Zealand, they cop a relentless amount of sheep molesting jokes from us Aussie´s but they just take it in good humour and dish it right back at us.

but we dont have anything to dish it back im not touchy about what u call me..anything but YANKS grrrrrrrrrr <img src=´http://www.cliphoto.com/earth/e-037.gif ´><img src=´http://www.cliphoto.com/earth/e-031.gif ´> this is my world; it goes round and round and round The wolfy types like a cow <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

I didn´t realise (some) Americans took such offense to it. I thought it had just evolved into a common generic term for all Americans... <A href=´http://mysite.freeserve.com/slops_in_borneo´ Target=_Blank>My gap year in Borneo</a>
