At some point you’ve gotta get over it.
Ping!
Oh really? Then why you all get your butts kicked then? You all saying you people are so pathetic you got your butts whipped by a bunch of girlie men?
ankee” means: [a] a uniformed member of the greatest sports team in history, or [b] a member of the armies that won the Civil War.
It means a team that may never win it all again thanks

I hate to break it to him but he is going to die someday and still be a damn yankee.
Ol Dixie ping
“Yankee” is never a term of endearment.
I couldn’t get past that. What BS.
Sounds pissed that Southerners don’t treat his as their better.
And I forgot to add:
“I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly”
A person who, being born north of the Mason/Dixon line, has an inflated opinion of himself and his intelligence. He believes that rapid speaking and condescension toward those born south of the Mason/Dixon line entitles him to assume that all such persons have never heard of indoor plumbing, (I actually had a cousin I'd never met before tell me that was one thing which suprised her about Alabama - the indoor plumbing), have never read anything longer than a comic strip, and never date outside the family.
If you, sir, hold no such opinions, then you cannot be called a true Yankee. :-D
A sociology professor told me once IIRC that Southern culture is distinctive because we are made up of comparatively few ethnic groups: Native American, African American, British Isles, and French. There were smatterings of other nationalities who settled here, but most of the Scandinavian, Slavic, and Mediteranian immigrants settled in the industrialized cities of the North.
To hear Southerners talk about it, the Civil War is not yet over. Most of my forebears lived North of the Mason Dixon line, but one of my gg Grandfathers was heir to a slave worked plantation. He walked away from it, and was part of the Underground Railroad way before that war.
Just one of my rugged individual ancestors. :)
Yankees are just more demanding and abrupt.....it’s ethnicity and culture
not always bad either.
not all Yankees are smug and self righteous...just some....too many here obviously
Yankees trend more socially moderate to liberal.....that is unquestionable and rather obvious by SOME here on this board.
I refuse to qualify or equivocate but there are Yankees on this forum who defend the South and they should be given their due.
Women in Yankee homes tend to be openly in charge than down here....again unquestionable. Though women rule here too lest they’re haven’t the “power”
Yankees of old were abolitionists. Yankees of new are Kennedy/Kerry.
This southern inferiority complex is getting quite silly.
Yankee to me means Winner of the War!!!! I am very proud of that fact!!!!
Well, Rudy and Mitt are both Yankees, so is Hillary
Yankee is a corruption of a British term of derogation which was a corruption of the Dutch meaning John Cheesehead, referring to the sometimes drunk Dutch citizens of New York after it was occupied without ceremony by the British and renamed from New Amsterdam to New York.
1. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
2. Brainwashed Yankees who to this day do not get Lincoln.
