Look PCM, all I am saying is that is many people in the South refer to anyone that was born above the Mason-Dixon line a Yankee. Most of the time it is preceeded by the F word or the GD yankees or something like that. I know a lot of Canadians, including my friends, that call anyone born south of the 49th a Yankee. I get called a Yankee on a regular basis from clients, friends, and others. I think, could be wrong, the term is from the civil war referring to the union. I swear some of the old timers around here, especially out in the sticks, think that you can't trust them Yanks because you never know when another civil war might break out. I guess I don't hate it but I would prefer not being called one. I think what bothers me the most about the term is that I FRICKIN HATE THE NY YANKEES.
