I don’t know what to make of the “pie for breakfast” reference. Anyone?

I would of said Derek Jeter.

In the Greater Boston area it roughly translates to “a degenerate, filthy fuck”

Seems like the lesson is no one wants to be one.

The green part should be a gradient. As a New Orleanian, I consider all my fellow citizens north of about 30.1° latitude to be yankees unless they’re as far or further west than Texas.

Jan-Kees -> Yankee

I wouldn’t call a Canadian or Columbian “Yankee”. A “Yankee” is someone from the usa, not America.

Addendum for Japan: Yankee ヤンキー more commonly refers to a (juvenile) delinquent

As a new Englander, this is bullshit. No one says “Yankee” means “Vermonter”, what the hell is that? Lived here my entire life, that ain’t a thing

I’ve been in about half the states and have never heard anyone use Yankee except in reference to history. It always meant the “north” during the civil war. Which today would largely mean New England

yanqui, gringo o gabacho, a veces, estadounidense.

I’ve been a new englander for almost 40 years and no one thinks “yankee” is specifically for Vermont or pie for breakfast eaters Also as a colorblind person this maps choice of colors is not great.

As an american, I thought yankee means American

Yanquis are high mileage sandles from Peru

In the Canadian military they don’t say “Idiot proof”, they say “Yank proof.”

In the green area. Besides foreign references to Americans, the only time I’ve heard someone called a Yankee is when they are playing baseball.
