my son was asking me this the other day... what exactly is a "Yankee"?

Depends where you live. If you're outside the US, it's anybody from the US. If you live in the US, south of the Mason-Dixon line, it's anybody north of the Mason-Dixon line. If you live north of the Mason-Dixon line, it's somebody from New England.

I've never lived in New England, so I don't know whether it gets more specific once you're there.

A "yankee" is a DEVIL who fought in the war of nawthern agression against the CONFEDERATES and anyone born in his silly yankee state! Otherwise known as CARPETBAGGERS!

I don't know about that...but they sure are known for their uncanny ability to build a fire.

Texas Monthly

on the cover is Kinky Friedman dressed as Uncle Sam pointing his finger at the reader

and the quote sez:

" I want you to say 'adios MOFO' "

BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OK...so a Yankee is a Devil Arson (they go hand in hand) Carpetbagger from New England.

Thanks... clear as mud.

I'm sure my son will be thrilled with that answer. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
