Correct me if I'm wrong but you're a person on a site are you not? I did state they are from Australia. I think they know just as much if not more than you do about slang since they do live there. And I'm not going to ask nicely again, don't call me a Yank. It's pretty much the equivalent of calling one of you Aussie a Roof***er. It's not well respected and I don't take kindly to it. Especially since I know about terms from other cultures. So now consider yourselves formally educated that not all Americans are "Yanks." Because most people in the former Confederacy would shoot you for calling them a Yank. Trust me, I would know I kind of live there.

THE WAR IS NEVER OVER!! Nah jk, but I do think it's still kind of funny that South Carolina still celebrates three confederate holidays. XD

Ah see that's because at the time the Civil War took place California was a free state and therefore a part of the Union. Since Union=Yankees that makes you a Yankee.
