If you don't give two shits why bother to post? You should also learn to spell, there is a distinct difference between Yanks and Yankees.

Yanks is a term non-Yanks use to describe Americans, it has nothing to do with Yankees or northerners.

You keep saying that. We all know different.
Yanks is short for Yankees. There is no distinct difference other than what I mentioned.
I remember this from awhile back....
To foreigners, a Yankee is an American
To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner
To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander
Re: The USS Liberty incident
You know busybody, the number of times you're made to look stupid on here it's a wonder you keep coming back for more.
Yank - an American; pertaining to anything American.
Yank - American - a native or inhabitant of the United States
Yank - A term used by the British to describe all Americans.
Yank - an archiac and insulting word that people from other countries use to describe americans.
Yank - A Twat who comes from America to London and calls the Tube a Subway
.... and so on ....
You stick to your definition and the rest of us six billion inhabitants of the planet will stick to ours. We call you Yanks, not Yankees, and we don't give a shit whether you're from the North or South.
