Seriously, people have been called Yankees? In all my born days, I've never heard anyone say that with a straight face. I grew up in the South, and have spent my entire adult life in the Northeast. The only time I hear anything about the Yankees, it's in reference to the unfortunate baseball team in the Bronx...
Haha, yeah, I've been called a Yankee a few times on my trips to the South (mostly to Mississippi). My first reaction is to wonder how they know I'm a fan of the aforementioned unfortunate baseball team

Again, I've found it happens on both sides - you get Southerners who come up North and say that things are better down South, and you get Northerners who go down South and do the same thing. There are obnoxious people all over the country.
