Yanks live on the eastern side of the US in NYC. Rest of us are not yanks so why call us that?

[MiTT3NZ]

Because we call all of you yanks, so therefore... yanks. Besides, he may have only been addressing those on the East Coast anyway. In no way shape or form did his post specify exactly who he was referring to beyond the use of the term "yanks".

[Bluecast]

I was curious when it's often used to call all Americans yanks when we only call New Yorkers Yanks.

different cultures have different use for words, it's no secret there are slight differences in dialect between anglo countries

[AnimeGamer183]

Because some other countries still make fun of us cause we fought ourselves in the civil war, and thats when the yankee term was created as well.

Speaking of that, do we have a derogatory term for a UKer here in the US? I cant think of any at the moment.

[MiTT3NZ]

Despite what youz think, we don't even care about the civil war, and are only ever reminded of it when it crops up in a film or a game.

[Who Really Cares?]

AnimeGamer183 all the yanks seem to be able to say towards the UK is go eat some crumpets.

Yep, I think that's pretty much it. It usually revolves around an action like drinking tea or something like that. I also heard Brits use 'colonial' on me lol.

I've been called old worlder scum on the internet once or twice, but what seems to be the most popular amongst Americans on the web is mocking our teeth

I like Christmas to some degree. I don't care about presents. I just like the atmosphere, decorations, music, and cooking and eating a great meal. And of course being together with family and friends. Consumerism can go away.

And I don't really care that it's a Christian holiday because it's really more of a Pagan holiday anyway with Jesus tacked on anyway. (And in modern times, a Pagan holiday with Jesus tacked on's corpse paraded around by large corporations to sell massive amounts of products!)

I drink tea and have bad teeth. WTF DOES THIS MEAN?!

It's not "teeth", it's "teef". Get it right, you cunt. Some of the finest examples of teef can be found on Jeremy Kyle.
