My wife was born and raised in the south. She calls anyone who moves down south from north of the Mason-Dixon line and starts complaining about how things are different down here a "Yankee" or a "Damned Yankee." Anyone who comes from up north and doesn't deride the south is a "Northerner."

I always thought a "Damn Yankee" was one that was in the same state as a Southerner.
I disliked my time in the South (summers were too humid and buggy--and winters too wet and cold--for a kid from the California coastal desert). But there were some good people there, just like anywhere.

Gee, to your wife there are only two kinds of people from north of the Mason/Dixon....and neither is American...just a yankee or a northener? What kind of sense does that make?
