You'd def get shot calling folks here yankees

 

[Chris]

They pretty much just treat it as another word for "liberal"

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Yeah, I’m not that bad. I just would kindly ask them not to do that.

 

[CakeWalker]

if it makes you feel any better - the Brits have been using the term Yanks since the 1700s

 

[CakeWalker]

so long before any war took place

 

[CakeWalker]

but yeah - il try to avoid saying it

 

[CakeWalker]

but a habit of a life times is almost impossible to break

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Oh I know that. It just here in America took on a different meaning.

legit tho, for your safety if you visit America, don’t call anyone down here a Yank or a Yankee. Not everyone will probably take it bad, but they are some who like Chris said will shoot you. Some take it far worse than I do.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

If you’re up North, feel free however to call then one. They don’t care.

 

[CakeWalker]
