Yanks

Last night I was telling Susan that I wanted to write something about the British meaning of the word Yank since I had used it in the title of this blog. I mentioned that yank or Yankee was a pejorative term here. She said that it used to be that way, but you don’t really hear it any more.

I think the prejudice is still here, but I guess it must have a new name that everyone is too polite to say in front of me.
