A term many native Texans and southerners regardless of background use to describe people mostly from the upper Midwest and especially the northeast, usually Maryland and above. The western half of the United States, even far north states like Montana, Washington, and Alaska, are rarely taken into consideration because of their frontier nature and lack of accents. To Texans and southerners, Yankees are viewed as unfriendly, shrewd, indifferent, uppity, blunt, and a threat to their genial, warm, welcoming, and down home culture, which many Yankees view as intruding, a threat to privacy, and fake. Many well to do Yankees have migrated to Florida and Texas as retirement havens.
