[font color=red]*This post is meant in a spirit of fun & fairness -NO BICKERING!!![/font]

After all, fair is fair, right?
I'm curious about it because I collect stuff like that, being an inquisitive 'gabacho' at heart...

I've never known a Canadian personally. In fact, since enjoying the FTE site, I spend more time in the world atlas looking up places in Canada than ever before. You can call me anything, just don't forget to call me for dinner.

I think Yanks is used most often when refering to USAer's. I don't use the term "Americans" because we, and all people of North and South America's are "American's". IMHO

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-Nov-02 AT 12:52 PM (EST)]Try calling someone from the Carolinas, Georgia, or Mississippi a Yank or Yankee and see what kind of slang it is.

a popular term around here as there are alot of misplaced texans as yalls, as in we ran into a bunch of yalls at the mall, or we had three yalls stop in for gas on their way to Alaska. From where I'm lookin you are all from the south.

Yank is an insult to most Texans, too.
