the word Yankee? I'm from Atlanta and have never used this word in an insulting manner, I view this as a very weak attempt by fools show how ignorant they are. I have to ask myself why these people are using a Civil War term move, foward folks. The only time I say Yankees is when I refer to baseball, and I wrote this because I have read all these Southern centric threads and stupid that people still use this. I also wrote to throw the idea out there, if it gets crazy then lock this thing up.

The word yankee is used in the northeast too, but generally not in a negative way. Like many words it's all in the intent of the speaker...
