Jank

An offensive, derogatory slur for Americans, created by the British back during the American revolution. Since then the term has softened in to the word Yank and Yankee, a far less insulting word sometimes even used as a term of endearment by the British. Jank today is hardly used as a way to insult Americans and has spawned a new meaning, often referring to a useless, worthless, or crappy piece of junk.
'Jank's are so dirty, a white feather would make their outfit look fancy.'
