Get the yank mug.

"Yanked", or "Yanking" is a reference made to an action taken with great effort that does not actually benefit the person or people directly performing the action. It is a reference to how americans are frequently and unjustly blamed for actions their government makes them perform, actions which do not benefit americans but in fact primarily are of benefit to more powerful non-national global organizations.

Just because I am a yank does not mean I am fat, stupid or any other of those stupid generalizations about us.

what the british, australians, new zealander, etc. call americans.
the yanks really are a diverse lot. some are smart, some are dumb. some are hot, some are fat (where i live, the fat ones are mostly mexican). they tend to be ridiculed by the world because of the poor excuse of a president they had to deal with from 2000-2008 and the fiasco of a war he started.

i moved to san diego from cairns 7 years ago, and i must say, the yanks aren't as bad as we all think and say. most of them are quite friendly, and intelligent, with a touch of "american pride" that i find quite comical. and believe it or not, they do use the metric system, and about 90% of them hate bush.
