Your Definition
The word is a [derogatory term] used to describe Americans by the Brits, Canadians, [Australians] and the like; but in the USA used to define an American from the Northern States in the USA, such as New England and the Mid-West. It was most notably used to describe to the Federal Solders and other Northerners by the Confederates during the Civil War Era. Even though some foreigner’s refer to all American’s as Yankees, does not make it so. Call a Southerner a Yankee and he’ll think you’re either just plain dumb or that you are trying to pick a fight. The [characteristics] often associated with a stereotypical Yankee are shrewdness, thrift, craftiness, rudeness, arrogance, and loudness.
