Same. The word Yankee means the following to me, in order of most to least relevant:

  • A member of the New York Yankees.
  • A derogatory term that people from the Bible Belt who still haven't accepted the result of the American Civil War use for people who live north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
  • A more neutral (maybe slightly derogatory?) term that people from the UK use for all Americans, regardless of where they live in the US.

I have never heard someone refer to a New Englander as a Yankee.

In this case, "proposed by Donald Trump" is like saying that a ventriloquist dummy with a hand up its ass and someone else mouthing the words has proposed something.

So the receipts for basically everything I've bought for the past year or so? Got it.

...until one of the warring countries runs out of robots anyway. That's when the real fun starts!
