Nothing more Yankee than a boy born in NYC and raised in Connecticut. When I lived in the southern United States, I was always called a damned Yankee (and a lot worse) by my redneck friends. But I still love my rebel friends and they still tolerate me. It depends on the tone. You can be called a Yankee affectionately or derisively. I prefer to interpret it in an affectionate way and I refuse to be offended.

You can't stop me you Brits! You will never shut me up. Give it your best shot! Bring it on!

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about
