In Boston harbor? Yeah, I don't know if you've seen the water there but I promise, that's not going to be something you wanna sip on.


Still would be world record, never stated you had to Drink it!

Also no one said something about a specific harbour.

To answer the original question: No, I'm not even remotely offended by the term "Yank"

I don't think I've ever met someone who would be offended by the term either.

Also, for anyone who's played Killing Floor, the "Bloody Yank!" achievement cracks me up.

You say Fiery Crash! I say Dynamic Entry!

So I guess this particular term doesn't yank anyone's chains...

This is dakka.

You don't NEED to go looking for the LHF - it will come to you.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Nope, not at all. Not only am I American, but I am northern midwestern American (Michigan) who also lots of times portray a Union soldier at Civil War reinactments, so I am a super-yankee.

Late to the party, but I love the word Yankee or Yank. Aussies called us that all the time. Who cares. It's a regional description, not one of race or creed.
