Well, the same way you are singling out North Americans as being Yanks, I would add that both North and South American continents dont appreciate that USA citizens, like yourself, like to be classified as the only Americans.
All other Americans are from Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay,Venezuela, French Guiana, Guadeloupe and Martinique.
I just thought you should know that, unless you already do.
Oh yeah ; as EB White said:
To foreigners, a Yankee is an American.
To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner.
To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander.
To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter.
And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast.

And the term Yankee came from New York

And the term Yankee came from New York
The origin of Yankee has been the subject of much debate, but the most likely source is the Dutch name Janke, meaning “little Jan” or “little John,” a nickname that dates back to the 1680s. Perhaps because it was used as the name of pirates, the name Yankee came to be used as a term of contempt. It was used this way in the 1750s by General James Wolfe, the British general who secured British domination of North America by defeating the French at Quebec. The name may have been applied to New Englanders as an extension of an original use referring to Dutch settlers living along the Hudson River. Whatever the reason, Yankee is first recorded in 1765 as a name for an inhabitant of New England. The first recorded use of the term by the British to refer to Americans in general appears in the 1780s, in a letter by Lord Horatio Nelson, no less. Around the same time it began to be abbreviated to Yank. During the American Revolution, American soldiers adopted this term of derision as a term of national pride. The derisive use nonetheless remained alive and even intensified in the South during the Civil War, when it referred not to all Americans but to those loyal to the Union. Now the term carries less emotion—except of course for baseball fans.
Originally posted by Dawsonyour use of the word "idiot" reminds me of another American stereo type 😂
Agreed, AC. I may not like being called a Yankee, but this is hilarious. Legion, I hope you realize that making an idiot of yourself like this is just going to get you called a Yankee more.

No, go on. I actually wish to hear how I've been dusted and binned. All you did was come on and tell me to have a laugh, prior to calling me a stick in the mud.
I've endured worse here, so please. Indulge me. This isn't a last word thing, because if you reply and answer my question, I won't need to reply to you again.
