That's interesting. I always thought that yankee generally had to have "damn" in front of it to really offend anyone these days. Considering that our revolutionary war march was Yankee Doodle, I had figured most of us got over that one in the 1700's.

I had to calm myself down once when some dipshit at a pinball show called me a liar when he really meant, "you're pulling my leg" so obviously regional differences vary and panties twist at different speeds.

There have been more than a few times that I've been called a no good ---smurfing--- Yankee because I live in the Boston area (despite not being from here).
Ironically, in the Boston area, calling someone a Yankee is nearly as bad but actually means NYC.
