yanks

A British/Australian term for all Americans, regardless of position. We don't care if it's really a shortening of 'Yankee', or northern Americans. We just fucking use it this way.

"Damn, this giant Sony camcorder got eaten by a South African monkeyfish. Fucking Yanks"
Guy 1: "LOLZ I HAVE TEH SKILLZ"
Guy 2: "Fucking yanks."
TV: "Food poisoning spreads throughout a Martian colony. It's believed to be caused by China." Guy: "Fucking yanks."

Yanks

Slang for Yankees, which refers to all the people of the United States, particularly those of the northern and New England states. This word is most often used by the Australian and British. Contrary to some uneducated beliefs, the diverse and multicultural people of the U.S. have greatly influenced the world in culture and lifestyle through their coveted media industry. Also notable is the country's position in fueling the global economy and the amount of aid, both financial and military, given around the world, which far exceeds any other country.

1. Aussie Guy 1: (While stopping at McDonalds after shopping at Target)Have you seen that Australian movie: The Castle?
Aussie Guy 2: We make movies? I thought the movie industry was the Yanks' job.

2. English Professor: Now now class, it is time to study the two world wars, and how those crazy Yanks bailed us out twice...
