These days what really is a Yankee?

Sorry but I have to post this here and not in sRant ...
I see Nick Saban being disparaged as a "yankee" ... what exactly does that mean?
In the UK, a yankee is any American.
In the northeast, a yankee is someone from Connecticut.
In the south, a yankee is anyone not from the South.
Is this supposed to mean they're an inferior, liberal person? I know many people in the state of NY who are not liberals and vote conservatively while Georgia has become a blue state.
So, wth does Yankee mean?

It's means that they're a fricking yankee. It's not rocket science.

I prefer to call them carpetbaggers.
People who move from leftist states because they can't afford the expense of the politics they supported. But, too stupid to learn their lesson, so keep voting Democrat anyway.
These are shite human beings. Pure shite.

How dare you confuse me with that hack.
I've got a much lengthier and more glorious history of hack posting.

From what I've gathered in my decades in the south, a Yankee is someone who is smarter than you and more successful than you and doesn't really care about a war you lost 150 years ago or your impotent rage while alone with your drinking buddies.

There would be big problems if a Brit said this to a native South Carolinian.

Then why the hell are you here? Take your Yankee arse back up North and leave us the hell alone.
