A huge difference between business names and where the term comes from, Yank is a derogative term, but it's not the first time RLFans hasn't understood the provinence of language. Rl isn't an intelligent sport. |

My understanding of the term Yankee, originates from the Indiginous Native word Yengese, meaning English, in relation to the original white settlers and became the term for all Americans. The term is not derogatory, a very popular Philip Souza composition “Over There” has the words “ The Yanks are coming”. Snowflakism has found new bounds  |

Yankee means someone from the northern states of the US so is a very offensive thing to call someone from one of the treasonous slavery states.
An american is someone from anywhere in the Americas so calling someone from the US an american is insulting because people from the US hate everyone else in the Americas.
The only correct and unoffensive term for someone from the benighted states is Merkin.

Quote MGarbutt1986="MGarbutt1986"You mean Americans in American Football
try not to insult countries and sports, it's beneath you.'"
E. B. White draws his own distinctions:
To foreigners, a Yankee is an American.
To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner.
To Northerners, a Yankee is an Easterner.
To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander.
To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter.
And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee
And footy is shortened for football which is what they call the NFL game as opposed to football which they call soccer. And a boot is a trunk. |

| Did we win?
Interesting night in the Castlebar on the Saturday night. 
The Sir Michael Balcon was a bit more reasonable at just over three quid for their 1664.
The policemen in the station opposite our hotel were decidedly unfriendly chaps. 
Note to oneself.....Try not to leave another mobile phone in another hotel before checking out. 
2 points in the bag though.
Get in. |
