The word originally comes from a word for midwesterners known as "Jan Kaas" or dutch for John Cheese, as many of them made cheese such as in Wisconsin. It gradually became a word for any northerner.
Someone who pretends to be left-leaning and to like art but actually minimizes the danger of everything in an institutional fashion, perhaps from Catholic/Jehovas Witness/Episcopalian influence, but still pops into a sex-club on Saturday regardless of the institutional religious background he or she may come from. The yankee may feel like he won the American civil war even though he is only a second generation Italian/Jew/Irishman. Their rent tends to be higher than other areas.

The Yankee mayor of New York Giuiliani stated he didn't want anymore artists moving to New York City.

Get the yankeemug. A term of endearment used by the Southern Folk, to emphsis how much they love the Northern Folk. Damn Yankee. Don't you think it's time to get over that wall, and all come together as AMERICANS? After all, that is what we ALL ARE ! The war has been over for a long time, and none of us, still remaining had a thing in it. Move on !

Get the yankeemug. Only the best team in the MLB, with some of the most dedicated players and fans. The team that every Red Sox fan is jealous of, especially since A-Rod decided he wanted to play for them. A team that recieves all the ex-Red Sox when they realize their team sucks. A team that every Red Sox fan makes fun of for losing to the Marlins, even though they beat the Red Sox, and are now first place in the AL. A team who's dynasty will never fade, no matter what the pay-roll, because you know if your team had the highest pay-roll you wouldn't be complaining and saying you buy your team.
