You talk to anyone from Britain or South America...
And they all say, "you Yanks this and you Yanks that" and they don't care if you're from South Carolina or New Englad...Georgia or New York.
Nobody says: "You Yanks this and you Rebels that."
Because we are not living in 1865. Yankee means American. Period, by the entire world. So unless you're a foreigner living in Mississippi, you are a Yankee.
I have NEVER been referred to as a Yankee, and I'm as southern as you can be. Yet that term would not bother me anywhere near as much as being called a liberal.

This really upsets you,huh? That's good actually because it means your life is going pretty well.
Fwiw lots of southerners still refer to northerners as Yankees.

And we wish they would quit fricking moving here.
We're having enough trouble keeping Georgia, Florida and Texas in the hands of conservatives.

Wayyyyy too many bring their voting habits along with them. I'm like "WTF are you doing? That's exactly what you're running away from!"

"Yank" across the world is used to refer to any American, including Southerners.
Yankee means all-Americans.
Unless you identify as a non-American, then you are not a Yankee.
So non-Yankees are foreigners or green card holders.

You could be a gay trans yankee feminist black woman and I wouldn't care as long as your not a liberal.

My God. Why is Missouri in the SEC. What a joke.

And Alabama loves you too. But honestly fast food quality goes way up in smaller towns. The bigger the city the shittier the fast food. Everytime

Interesting, I'm from Louisiana and currently live in New York, and I have a hard time going back home.

I was just in NYC for meetings. I'm the opposite. The food isn't great unless you get out of Time Square area.
Food trucks are better.... but still... just bad.

I'm park-facing, so I get plenty of light. And yeah, I actually had halal today from a food cart (shite was delicious but that hot sauce hurts coming out). I'm from New Orleans, so I'm pretty accustomed to not being able to fully immerse myself in nature on a whim--but look, the Hudson Valley and New Jersey have the best hiking I've seen anywhere that isn't the Ozarks outside of Little Rock or Northern California, and I can be there in 50 minutes on a train for $25.
My parents have a house in Southern Mississippi, and one day I'll probably go live like that someplace--alone in the woods (but probably not in Mississippi). But I'm young and that just seems like a waste of youth, what with all these asses up here.
I've never owned a gun (my father owns enough for the both of us, I'm sure) so I never really felt like I was missing out on much. I never really understood shooting as a pastime (except skeet-shooting on a course, which is the shite), and the whole self-defense thing seems like a farce, if we're going by every person I know who owns guns. If it's just for killing time, I have a lot more fun shooting bows, which feel more involved.
But yeah, I go home, and of course I love the weather and food, and in New Orleans the architecture, but the world feels so small down there and I start itching to leave before long.

That's really funny. Did you just think of that?

When they said the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming - over there - over there - a CENTURY ago...
Were they just talking about Northeasterners?
Oxford English Dictionary:
Yankee: A person who lives in or is from the USA.
Since the war ended and every state became part of the USA again...unless some people don't think they live in the USA...everyone is a Yankee.
There isn't a single poster on this board who was born in 1860 or before. Not a single one. Those are the only people who can claim they aren't a Yankee - during those few secession years.
Somebody needs to get laid.

I don't think I've ever heard of New York food being measured by what Times Square offers. I think there's an M&M store, a TGIFridays, and an Olive Garden? If you're back up here for business again, I wouldn't stay anywhere near Times Square. Transportation is easy enough from downtown, even if you've got nonstop deadlines, and you'll have a lot more fun.
It's kind of like saying, "I was just in Louisiana for meetings. The food isn't great unless you get out of Bogalusa."
