alex may be a lot of things (hello, alex) but she is definitely not a 'Yank' - except maybe an honorary one for now.....

lol merriam webster is funny:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/yank[2]
compare wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee#In_other_English-speaking_countries
whereas p*m, on the other hand...
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/p*mmy
again, compare wiki:
> In 2006, an Auckland, New Zealand, Planet FM's English community radio program 'The Anglofiles' received feedback that many English people living in New Zealand considered the word P*m to be highly offensive. Rather than anything offensive in the word itself they were offended by its use as a term of abuse, especially in a racist manner. They felt it to be akin to racist terms such as 'w*g', 'w*p' and 'sp*c'. The New Zealand Human Rights Commission describes racial abuse as language or actions which, in the recipient's view, induce negative feelings towards his or her race. The inference is, therefore, that racial abuse cannot be adequately defined by the originator, or anyone else who is not negatively affected by it. It was on this basis that, in 2006, 'The Anglofiles' achieved a written undertaking from the major New Zealand television companies to avoid usage of the term P*m or P*mmy in all their local content. This was subsequently overruled by the high court of New Zealand as the judgement was made that the term could not be construed as a reference to a distinct racial group, but rather to a country.
> In Australia, the terms p*mmy bastard and whingeing p*m were frequently used in the postwar period to express hostility to Britons, particular when British immigration to Australia was peaking in the 1960s following the introduction of the assisted migration scheme, whose recipients were also denigrated as "ten pound p*ms".[5][6] Over time however, the terms "p*m" and "p*mm**" have lost much of their hostile edge. In December 2006, the Advertising Standards Board of Australia unanimously ruled that the word "p*m" was a part of the Australian vernacular, and was largely used in a "playful or affectionate" sense. As a consequence, the board ruled that the word did not constitute a racial slur, and could be freely used in advertising. The Board was responding to a complaint filed by a group called the British People Against Racial Discrimination.

Funny during I think the Civil War anyone who lived North from Virginia?? was a Yankee and Southerners R*dn*cks. The North won the War. The Yankees won. I'm a born and raised Yankee as from Connecticut originally culture does differ. Some call the South the Bible Belt. Northerners if on the East Coast Seem to Make more money. Not all of course. More expensive to Live there. Now California and Florida very expensive also. Funny how words evolve. Love Phillipa
