Why would that upset New Englanders only? Pretty sure this would upset every American, not just the Yanks.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Canadians should also use "yank" as a synonym for all Americans, because that really upsets them.

Oh right, already done.

They love it really!

Yanks = all Americans

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hardly...

Yanks, Sox, Cubs, A's, 'Stros...

I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about yank

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Understandable. What slang do I call you?

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I like beans on toast.

Limey...I think?

[–] teslekova@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hehe. Nope, you're all yanks mate, Australia has you pegged too.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure it would upset all North Americans, not just the yanks. Dropping US bs doesn't need to mean picking up UK bs

[–] teslekova@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Oh, we would never call someone from Canada or Mexico a Yank. That would be inaccurate and offensive.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Exactly, just like how calling anyone outside of New England a "Yank" is offensive, you fucking hypocrite.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yes, but us yanks, the Mexicans, and even Canucks would be pretty dang annoyed if canada switched to left hand driving
