yank

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!!"

It's not cool to sound American. They are the earth's vermin. Uneducated, uncultured, god-fearing morons with a penchant for deeply ingrained racism and general war-mongering. Nuking the Deep South would save the world from alot of problems.
