In the Canadian military they don’t say “Idiot proof”, they say “Yank proof.”
Yanquis are high mileage sandles from Peru

As an american, I thought yankee means American
I’ve been a new englander for almost 40 years and no one thinks “yankee” is specifically for Vermont or pie for breakfast eaters Also as a colorblind person this maps choice of colors is not great.
Clearly this was created by an unlicensed memer who would fail the Accessibility exam.
when am i supposed to eat my pie leftovers?
oh who am i kidding there are never pie leftovers. Jungkook save us from this nightmare so we don’t have to endure this mockery much longer
yanqui, gringo o gabacho, a veces, estadounidense.
heavy emphasis on the “dense” in estadounidense
I’ve been in about half the states and have never heard anyone use Yankee except in reference to history. It always meant the “north” during the civil war. Which today would largely mean New England
As a new Englander, this is bullshit. No one says “Yankee” means “Vermonter”, what the hell is that? Lived here my entire life, that ain’t a thing
i’m partial to USian
I wouldn’t call a Canadian or Columbian “Yankee”. A “Yankee” is someone from the usa, not America.
what “American” means around the world
Jan-Kees -> Yankee
Addendum for Japan: Yankee ヤンキー more commonly refers to a (juvenile) delinquent
Same same.
also came looking for the Japan exception. [disappointed weeb noises]
‘Seppo’
That’s fine among limeys, but I don’t think anyone else recognizes it.
Actually, that’s Australian slang. Or at least, we use it too.
Though mostly if we’re being impolite it’s just “yank”.
In the green area. Besides foreign references to Americans, the only time I’ve heard someone called a Yankee is when they are playing baseball.
I’m in the blue area and for us it refers to OG New Englanders. Usually used to contrast us against those dirty southerners.
