Yank......Yankee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee
The term Yankee (sometimes abbreviated to Yank) has a number of possible meanings, but in almost all contexts, it refers to someone of United States origin or heritage.
Within the United States, its popular meaning has varied over time. Historically, the term usually refers to residents of New England, as used by Mark Twain in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
During and after the American Civil War, its popular meaning expanded to include any Northerner or resident of the Union, and included any resident of the Northeast (New England, Mid-Atlantic, and upper Great Lakes states).
Some US citizens who travel or live abroad, not exclusively but generally from southern states, may however find being called 'Yank' or 'Yankee' particularly offensive.
This is both in terms of the generally non-flattering nature in which residents of southern states use the term at home, but also by the unexpected shock that indeed all US citizens can be known as Yankees while abroad.
