A word originally meaning someone from New England, then the Northern U.S., then the North-Eastern US (those states that were always non-slave states). Now means the moderate type of American that the rest of the world can get along with (even those from the South), as opposed to the people like George W. Bush or Britney "we elected the President, so he must be right" Spears, or, at extremes, the KKK.
American: I don't want any of this "Real Ale". Where's the Budweiser?
Brit: *grimacing* Oh well, at least you're a yank not a redneck.

1.Short for "Yankee"
2.An American from the NORTHERN United States,not a term for all Americans like most British people seem to think.Southerners are called Rebs or Rednecks.Most of the stereotypes posted here by the British pertain to Southerners too,most of us Yanks are pretty liberal.The north and south USA are almost like 2 different countries (they nearly were) and the rest of the world doesn't seem to notice that.You won't find many fat rednecks in Vermont or Rhode Island.

A cute little word that aussies, brits, kiwis and south african people use to describe Americans...on the internet.
You rarly hear this term used to the face of an American in a real life situation because Americans are intimidating to faggy little euro-twats and southern hemisphere kangaroo fuckers.
Some take offence to the word for some reason...

1. Originally it denotes someone from New England.
It is now used in reference to those from the United States, since "American" isn't actually a nationality, and people didn't want to needlessly insult those from North and South America by equating them with those from the US.
2. To pull something.

1. "Bloody hell! We've got to rescue the Americans from all those Yanks!"
2. "Bloody hell! Don't Yank my doodle like that!!"
