A person from the Northern part of the United States of America who carries on the long Yankee history of activism and reform. These include the movements to abolish slavery, and the suffragist movement to acquire equal rights for women (See: Harriet Beecher Stowe, Yankee Abolitionist and Susan B. Anthony, Yankee Suffragist). Logic, reasoning, and education are valued highly by Yankees and used to champion freedom and equality for all Americans. Yankees have a strong sense of civic duty and culturally are known for straight-forwardness, time management, frugality, and thinking on their feet. Ivy League schools in the North are often associated with Yankees and have yielded many of America's top leaders and thinkers.
"The Yankee abolitionists welcomed slaves from the South that had traveled the Underground Railroad."
"The Yankee suffragists sacrificed their safety and livelihoods to win the vote for women."
"Her Yankee sensibilities led her to become a leader in the movement."

Obviously, urbandictionary.com is filled with a bunch of morons from Boston. Wow, fantastic, you finally won the world series after 86 years of pathetic attempts. The Yankees still have 5 times the amount of World Series Titles and Pennants than the Red Sox.
Now that the Sox have won just one silly World Series, you can no longer claim to be the sad bunch of losers you were before. This gives the rest of the nation nothing to empathize with, therefore banishing your team forever to mediocrity. I guarantee in 86 years, my grandkids will proudly be shouting "Two thousand four!" at games since you stupid fucks won't ever be able to do it again.
It's just too bad St. Louis didn't show up to the series, they were clearly a better team than you lucky bunch of ugly bastards.
Oh, and one more thing, no one likes Boston because the chicks there are just so friggin' ugly and your nightlife sucks too. I should know, I lived in that shithole for four years.
