Somebody who dresses, speaks, walks and generally behaves like they hail from the US of A when in reality they live with their Mum in a bungalow in Chipping Norton. They bounce when they walk, high five at every available opportunity, talk really loudly and listen to RnB or gangster rap. Some Yankophiles also have a habit of hitching one trouser leg up to their knee. They are hated by everybody apart from the other inbred, binge eating, gangster wannabe miscreants they hang around with.
A: "Did Clive have Polio when he was a kid? He seems to be limping."
B: "No, he's a Yankophile"
A: "Has he lost a lot of weight? That vest top looks like a nightie"
B: "No, he's a Yankophile"
A: "I can't understand a word he's saying. He seems to be talking in some sort of ghetto speak and his fingers look all contorted like he has spina bifida"
B: "Don't worry! He's just pretending to be something he's not in a misguided attempt to gain some sort of respect from his peers. He lives with his Mum in a sleepy Cotswold town and isn't any more gangster that my Nan. Fucking useless, drawling Yankophile."

Get the Yankophile mug.
Chiefly British adjective used to describe something (or someone) that is American-loving, from the term "yank" meaning "American" and the Greek "philos" meaning "love".
It could be said that Tony Blair is yankophilic.
