I'm only doing this because I see this occurring more often lately.
YANKS:
Anyone

YANKEES:

   2.What people in the southern US sometimes call northerners.
   Thanks.

We have a few carpet baggers don't we?
Oh well lots of Yankees are good too.
Haven't seen you around in awhile. I have something to ask you:
Will you be the Best Man at "The Wedding"?
I only ask you this because you live close by and can help me move a whole bunch of stuff to the airport.

Everyone else has there assignments.

Technically and originally Yankee referred to people in New England only.

Yeah that makes sense. But I've heard the term down here in Texas when describing most northerners.

I'm guessing during the Civil War it became a term for all northerners, especially to southerners. I just know in California we never call ourselves "Yankees". But my sister in New Hampshire calls herself a Yankee.
