Wut? I thought it already looked like a normal thread. One that ran off the rails never to return.
Well, the thread is normal, I was probably thinking more of the abnormal people posting in it…
jet fuel is cheap these days why not……

According to the 1978 REO Speedwagon album You can tune a piano but you can’t tune a fish.
Hey guys, hate to sound like a tool, but what member of TIA got in trouble?
Send a PM to a mod, if they want to tell you they will, otherwise it’s best to leave it alone. Or, if you’re keen enough to notice who’s missing, then you’ll get your answer that way.
And no, you’re not being a tool at all…
@MikeyB Lots of drama, were just pushing through bro!!!
Oops thanks Kato!

Think I figured out who’s missing now, thanks guys…
yes, there’s a pretty conspicuous name missing from the ‘popular contributors’ on the side bar, and it sure ain’t Jimbo!

You know, I only recently learned that the term ‘Yank/Yankee’ is actually derogatory! I was using the term here occasionally interchangeably with American.
So if I’ve offended anyone, many apologies! Would a northern state or southern state American be more offended by the term? Or is it ok for an American to use the term?

well they have a Major League Baseball team called the New York Yankees so it can’t be to bad….

The southern states use it more as a derogatory nickname for northerners. I’m personally not offended though…carry on my wayward son!

Nothing to me either, that’s what the Brits called us or still call us during the world wars.

there you go, I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal. Yes you have the Yankees as a team name, but you also have the Redskins …

Not sure if this is old information but during the Civil war, the North were called the Yankees by the Southern Confederacy, not sure if that stemmed from anywhere prior to that…

Never bothered me Dwain. Normally it’s those tea sipping Brits that have their panties in a bunch about losing a collection of colonies 😉
Some people from the south use it and interestingly enough, I am a New Englander . That is normally a derogatory term. But I take more offense that we are calledYankees when it’s all the name of an evil baseball team located in New York. But regardless, when I’m called a Yankee by a Southerner, I normally respond “yeah? Git over it. You lost, we won. Or is hard cause your Mom and Dad are brother and sister?” The reason it’s used in this term is due to a little disagreement that started back in the 1700s and ended in the later half of the 1800s. The greatest irony here is that I was born in the South 😀
In a nutshell? Nah, I don’t take offense to it. I kind of like it. Unless they are saying I am a fan of the NY Yankees. I don’t even like baseball but thats like saying I like to have relations with cows!!!!
Yeah damn yanks and their cows.

I’ve been a Yank a wanker but my wife just calls me a Dick. As in why do you have to be such a Dick.

We try to be a little more conservative than that so she didn’t use that strong of a word, its the non verbal stuff that really let’s me know I’m being an “issue”

some times my wife calls me a tiger, and most other times it is just a big pussy…..same thing no?

Started in the revolutionary war, remember the old tune “Yankee doodle?”
Interestingly enough, in the US a Yankee is a northerner but the rest of the World(mostly British former/current colonies) refers to any American as a Yank/Yankee. So according to the British a man from Alabama driving a General Lee clone is a Yank.
