I didn't realize that people along the borders and coasts of every country and US state ate pies for breakfast....

...interesting.

No, in Japan it means "teenage delinquent"

Ok I’m gonna have to ask the Vermonter part of my family about this. I will say, I don’t think of people from New England as the exclusive Yanks, speaking as someone from NJ. It’s anyone from the north when you’re talking to fellow US citizens and all US citizens when you’re talking to someone from outside the country as far as I’m concerned

But I am home

Do people in Washington, Montana and North Dakota think of Canadians as Yankees, it is the concept of 'north' weird there?

local yanke go home:

Now do liberal

I don’t know what to make of the “pie for breakfast” reference. Anyone?

Addendum for Japan: Yankee ヤンキー more commonly refers to a (juvenile) delinquent

In the Greater Boston area it roughly translates to “a degenerate, filthy fuck”

Edit: that might actually be the same for the red sections on the map, just for different reasons

As a new Englander, this is bullshit. No one says “Yankee” means “Vermonter”, what the hell is that? Lived here my entire life, that ain’t a thing

I’ve been a new englander for almost 40 years and no one thinks “yankee” is specifically for Vermont or pie for breakfast eaters Also as a colorblind person this maps choice of colors is not great.

In the green area. Besides foreign references to Americans, the only time I've heard someone called a Yankee is when they are playing baseball.

In the Canadian military they don't say "Idiot proof", they say "Yank proof."

The green part should be a gradient. As a New Orleanian, I consider all my fellow citizens north of about 30.1° latitude to be yankees unless they're as far or further west than Texas.

As an american, I thought yankee means American

Yanquis are high mileage sandles from Peru

I would of said Derek Jeter.

Jan Kees

I'm in the lavender zone.

'Seppo'

Jan-Kees -> Yankee

you don't need the tilde though, yanki is stressed on the yan part

Seems like the lesson is no one wants to be one.

I wouldn't call a Canadian or Columbian "Yankee". A "Yankee" is someone from the usa, not America.

I've been in about half the states and have never heard anyone use Yankee except in reference to history. It always meant the "north" during the civil war. Which today would largely mean New England
