Southern Rules

[Waylander]

And the next damned fool that calls me a "yank" will be wishing for his two front teeth for christmas...

Yanks are the northern states. I am from Texas. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!
Anyone who was born north of Tennesee (unless they are from Missouri) is a yankee, call them yanks not me.

It could have been a dog in a possum costume.

I think you're tripping balls, Yank.

Yank is a slang term over here to discribe all Americans.

That list you attached was the most self serving piece of rubbish I've ever read.

I'll summarise it for everyone:

"WE ARE TEH WIN ADN DO LOTS OF PHYSICAL LABOUR AND WE HATE TECHNOLOGY. BTW GUYZ AMERICA RULZ"

[WRT]

Dunno if its relevant or not, but reminds me of playing tennis in the Paddington Rec centre in London, with some mates - another Kiwi, and two Canadians. Bunch of young punks were messing round in the bushes by the side of the court, throwing rocks round and chasing the punters. One of the Canadians (big fella, not overly impressed by the punks shinanygins) told them to piss off. They got lippy (were all of around 12 years old, about 6 or 8 of them), started calling him a yank.

I gotta tell ya, havent seen anyone so riled. Well, that is, until they looked at me and my mate and said . . . "fuckin' aussie's . . ."

Also havent seen a bunch of 12 year olds move so quick as when they get two very irate Canadians and two extremely pissed off Kiwi's bearing down on them . . .

you have to love the wrong guess on nationalities (sp)

Kiwi = Aussie
Canadian = American
American = Yank or Canadian
Zimbabwean = South African
Japanese/Korean/Malaysian = Chinese

Why didn't y'all just say that Yanks come from noth of the Mason-Dixon line and leave it at that?

OK then, Johnny Reb.

who the fuck is this mason-dixon dude, he kick george w outta the white house ?

[Waylander]

Somthing to help explain wich states are southern.
The Mason-Dixon Line was the border between north and south and ran along the northern borders of Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, (pronounced Arkansaw) and Texas.

But to about 95% of the english speaking world "yank" is anyone from the States. Anyone. north south east or west.

So you would be an Aussie then, or perhaps I should call you Brit.

Typical yank mentality!

Nothing typical about it. Same thing with you peaple calling me a yank.

And your father-in-law is a yank.

NZ and Australia ARE on the same Continent...

[Waylander]

Ummm heres an education for all the yanks . Australia is a different country to New Zealand.. in fact it is an entirely different Continent. I cant really see where the confusion comes in. They are convicts and we are settlers.
Ruled by the same Queen. Same figurehead leader, same country.:nya:



It can be seen however just how Yanks and Canadians could be confused as there is only a line in the dirt to differentiate you lot.

So you guys here are too dumb to know where a border lies? :sherlock:


And Waylander, as far as WE are concerned anybody from 'merica is a yank. Get used to that idea and life will go much smoother. :rofl:
Stop calling me a yank and life will go much smoother.


(hey new smilies:hitcher: <--- look it's Hitcher...)

[Waylander]

:violin: YANK
Brit.:motu:

[Waylander]

So if your from the south does that make you a Red Neck or a Slack Jaw Yokel, instead of a Yank?

Mavis..goone git me a pitcher o' dat crazy critter!!
Red Neck I can deal with. Might get you in some trouble you call me a slack jaw yokel. I am not Cletus.

[crashe]

Ruled by the same Queen. Same figurehead leader, same country

Now Waylander, I will tell you once and only once.

Australia and New Zealand are NOT the same country.
To even suggest that is so damn insulting to all us New Zealanders.

There is a huge ditch in between...
The Australians were sent there, cause they were convicts - you know criminals. :rofl: :rofl:
New Zealand became from people immirgrating here.

You know there are some southern Americans who never accepted that the confederates lost the war between the North and the south - of America.

Its these folks that will die believeing that they are not 'yanks'.

Well the fact of the matter is that you are all 'yanks' (americans).

So its time to get over it... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I also have a friend (female) from the southern area and Baptist to boot....
and I have her on all the time about being a 'yank' :rofl: :rofl:

Its amazing how fast you lot can be wound up... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Oh and Waylander, its time for you stop this, cos you are getting your NZ residency soon, then your citizenship...

Trust me Crashe, it would be easier for every NZer to stop calling me yank than for me to get used to it.

And as far as citizenship goes...Not for a good many years to come.

[Ixion]

I thought the true Yankees were from New England ?

Texans can't be Yankees, because on 1776 Texas was part of the domains of His Most Catholic Majesty .

Part of the ViceRoyalty of New spain. Independant in 1836

Below, the original flag of Texas (before independance),the Lone star flag adopted in 1839 and the original flag of the Republic of Texas.

You missed some.
25. My wife, sister and female cousin can all be the same person.

27. We got both kinds of music here - country and western.

I have a special T-shirt for Americans I got in Vienna that reads "There are no kangeroos in Austria". Apparently there is some confusion about this among the Yank tourists.

[SixPackBack]

Waylander.......this thread will last forever if you want it to, accept it, like it or not in the minds of every adult NZer you are a yank and no amount of cajoling, educating, threatning is going to change it.
YANK

[Gremlin]

on the other hand, you can try stop defending an ex-homeland and become a kiwi.

I don't bother mentioning how great south africa is yadda yadda (OK, well there isn't much great anyway) because I am a kiwi now. The way I see it, if anybody wants to bleat about how great their ex-homeland is, then why are you still here??

My mum overheard some south africans in the south african shop talking in afrikaans about how homesick they are... simple: GO BACK.

on another note, if americans can get so riled up about an internal division, then no wonder some countries hate them...

Only by association. I'm on a far higher level than they are.


For one thing, I can count.

[SARGE]

Maybe he will listen to you Sarge........has anyone pointed out that the word Yank is an affectionate nick name........not anti american, but pro

[Waylander]

:yawn: Funs over. I meant this whole thread as a joke. I don't like being called a yank but it doesn't offend me. Most peaple call me by my real name or Waylander anyway do I hardly hear it. Except when someone is talking about the states in a deragatory (spell that right? cant be arsed checking:hitcher:) way.

You folks need to lighten up.:weird:

(I wonder when I'll become famous enough for my own smilie. lol. We have a Hitcher and a Wari and a Spudchucka. Wonder what the Waylander would look like....)

[SARGE]

now see Way.. thats a whole other can of whoopass..i wear the "YANK" tag proudly.. when someone starts running thier suck about how awful the US is.. i have plenty of arguments for them. when i first got here to NZ.. i got into a discussion with a young Frenchman about the US War On Terror (tm) and how Imperialistic the US is and how its all about oil ( which it isnt.. i wont even respond to those who flame over that ..).. anyway.. to make a long story short.. when i finaly had enough of him i asked him...

"Do you speak German?"

he answered..

"of course not.."

to which i replied..

" YOU'RE WELCOME!"

pretty much ended the discussion afterthat ..

Listen all.. i, of all people know the USA isnt perfect .. far from it.. matter of fact.. the US i grew up in does not exist anymore.. but the PEOPLE ( Yanks) are a good sort.. i myself will go out of my way to help a friend in need..as will almost anyone raised in the States. the US leadership has lost its way recently ( since Ron Regan) but i will stand behind them ( i respect the office if not the man..) Bush is a twat..i know that.. he is a complete hand puppet of big business. i do not agree with his policies at all sometimes, but he is my Commander in Chief and i will defend the Office of the President of the USA, it's Soldiers, Sailors and Marines with my final breath

yes im a Yank.. i'm arrogent, loud, mean spirited and opinionated... but if any of you are in need of help... count on me to be there if humanly possible ( yes.. even you who talk shit about us..)

Without exception (I think) every American I have personally encountered has been a thoroughly good chap , and a pleasant and likeable person. Why then is it that your governments are invariably such utter arseholes? One would think that a in democracy , if the people were decent, the govenment would be decent also. But it doesn't seem to work that way.

It's not a demographic thing either. When i was in the USA I met (accidentally) and spent the evening with, a member of the State Senate of some state or other (I didn't even know that the individual states HAD their own Senates - educational). He was a fine chap - educated, refined, cultured , thoroughly pleasant. We got on like a house on fire. Why do they become dofusses when they get into national politics?

same reason they do down here i guess.. trying to please everyone to start with and folding to the whims of the assclowns with the money to fund the re-election campaigns..
a very good friend of mine is on the Cleveland Ohio city council.. we went to school together and 20 years ago i would have given my last bite of pizza to him.. then he got elected.. over the next few years , he bent to the pressures of the power-brokers and ended up selling out..

i dont talk to him anymore..

im sure Helen and Don used to be good blokes too..

Now I understand just why you have so many posts having only been here since the start of the year. Free country and all, but I'm sure this shit actually costs someone something in terms of web space. Just my opinion, that's all but I think this thread is a waste.

what cracks me up is the fact that Helen's office is rght next door to a DENTAL LAB..

also.. why is it that when we get close to elections, Helen starts looking more like Demi Moore in the tabloid pictures? then after elections she looks like some tranny gone wrong again.

I don;t know mate, I think she gets more and ore tranny looking as the elections approach. (sp?) Makeup is not her friend.

[Virago]

I heard a story once that they made some minor adjustments to the border between the States and Canada. It was all done on paper, and then they sent surveyors out with survey pegs to mark it out.

All went well until they came to a nice little log cabin - right smack in the middle of the new border line. Okay, which side should they go?

Nothing else for it, they knocked on the door and explained the situation to the old-timer inside. Which country did he want to be in?

The old guy thought long and hard, and eventually said "I want to be in the USA".

Okay, no problem, said the surveyors. But why the States?

"Because I can't stand those Canadian winters!".
