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...
E-english person: Yestah'day I fooked dis goffik bird an den i Came in er' air'! iT was propah mint.
E-engish person #2: Dats gr8 m8! I waz down at mc Donalds an i told dis mosha to get an aircut! den I add a wank in da baff-room.
E-American/ yank: What the fuck is wrong with your country?
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!!"
The stereotypical term that the ignorant percentage of the British population use to define an U.S. Citizen, or someone with a North American accent, even if they were originally form Britain. Good luck to the Brit who calls a Boston Red Sox fan a Yankee.
