<noun> Colloquial 1. Term used by Southern Americans to refer to a Northern American. 2. Term used by foreign nations, chiefly Britain and Australia to refer to Americans. ==> The term is thought to derive from Dutch settlers in the 1600's referring to the English colonials as 'Jan Kees' (John Cheese) which entered our language with the spelling 'Yankees,' as that is how it would sound in Dutch. 'Yanks' is simply a shortened form of it.
