In the Greater Boston area it roughly translates to “a degenerate, filthy fuck”
Edit: that might actually be the same for the red sections on the map, just for different reasons
Really it’s their team that should have been named the Yankees. And it would have paired well with the Patriots.
Never speak of our team again in such a heathenish tongue
I don’t know what to make of the “pie for breakfast” reference. Anyone?
I think it’s a native new englander local stereotype about yankees eating pie for breakfast; implying that they eat too much.
Apple pie with (cheddar) cheese apparently was a New England staple in the 17th century, but I don’t know if anyone had it for breakfast.
A very old New Englander once to my girlfriend & me that we went together “like pie with cheese.” We had idea what to make of it.
I’ve had a modern version using brie and I became a fan.
The whole chart is apparently a reference to an E. B. White quote, and there may be some truth to the pie part.

heavy emphasis on the “dense” in estadounidense
As a new Englander, this is bullshit. No one says “Yankee” means “Vermonter”, what the hell is that? Lived here my entire life, that ain’t a thing
I wouldn’t call a Canadian or Columbian “Yankee”. A “Yankee” is someone from the usa, not America.
I’ve been a new englander for almost 40 years and no one thinks “yankee” is specifically for Vermont or pie for breakfast eaters Also as a colorblind person this maps choice of colors is not great.
Clearly this was created by an unlicensed memer who would fail the Accessibility exam.
Seems like the lesson is no one wants to be one.
In the green area. Besides foreign references to Americans, the only time I’ve heard someone called a Yankee is when they are playing baseball.
I’m in the blue area and for us it refers to OG New Englanders. Usually used to contrast us against those dirty southerners.
Yanquis are high mileage sandles from Peru
The green part should be a gradient. As a New Orleanian, I consider all my fellow citizens north of about 30.1° latitude to be yankees unless they’re as far or further west than Texas.
As an american, I thought yankee means American
you don’t need the tilde though, yanki is stressed on the yan part
Oh yeah. I’ve seen it written this way before and just aped it.
