Really? I've heard people described or called Yankees all the time, although as often as not if it's to the person's face, it's tongue-in-cheek (as in "What would you know about what tea is supposed to taste like? You're a Yankee, for Pete's sake!).
Otherwise, we just say that they're "not from around here."
