[Blitzkrieg Bob]

1.Yeah, It hurts....sniff

2.Naw, I got grease under my nails and proud of it?

3.What's a Grease Monkey?

4.Who gives a flying banana anyway?

[BigKriss]

Is the term "slut" to a prostitute offensive? It depends on how thick your skin is. I say no, but I don't work in the industy. If you infer the word "monkey" to mean there IQ, then I guess some wouldn't like that term.

[califblue]

Not in my Book...mechanically inclined is what it means to me ( Automobiles, Bikinis;) , Boats, Guns, Surfboards & Motorcycles I can work on them all with the manual dexterity of a brain surgeon:D )

[HDhandyman]

When you Aussies say "Yank" it's fine,...cause you're just a bunch of outcasts, like us. But, when a Brit says "****in yanks", then yes, it is offensive.

[ThoreauHD]

I don't like being called yank because I'm from the south. Nothin worse than some Baliachi cow worshipper callin me the enemy. Not that the word is offensive, it's just not accurate. But maybe that's just me.

[Gayle]

Wow. I had forgotten that. I grew up in the south and when my father called someone a Yankee it was a very disparaging term.

The term yank has no meaning for me though. It is just something that the Aussies throw around as a synonym for American. Does that make the term Aussie offensive? BTW--Google spell check has the word Aussie in it.

I've got one of them!
Sluts are free, prostitutes charge and monkey are wild

We Aussies (no it is not an offensive term to us) like to offend everyone equally.
Hence Yanks, Poms (English), Micks (Irish) and anyone from Scotland just gets called Jimmy (pronounced jummy) ! :D
And not to mention Frogs (French), Dagoes (Italians) etc etc ...........

[angrypancake]

yanks suck. go mets. zeuk put it right, if you're gonna offend one, gotta go with all.


btw, wtf is a porchmonkey? they talked about it in Clerks II. I've never heard it used, and apparently it's pretty racist or something

for the record its diegos not dagoes and i thought that applied to spanish peoples. its 1:44 already where did the day go?

[Airborne001]

Most americans could care less about the term Yank. In a lot of ways it is a compliment. Even though we get along fine now, there is still a small undercurrent of pride that we kicked you guys outta here! <grin>

2 different words, I believe. Perhaps you are too young.......... :D

According to http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dago they have the same origins.

Certainly in my youth there was only one.

Well, a little history on a old scar. Don't get upset northerners. I'm just giving a little history.

Like I said, maybe it's just me... and my family actually. I found .50 caliber sized musket rounds all over my yard when I was a kid. We also found sets of bones about 9 feet under. There were old slave quarters that were burned to the ground, along with what seemed like a cottage. This was just in my yard in rural Louisiana.

So when my grandparents talked about yanks, I understood. We were called coon-asses or southerners. I have pictures, clothes, and diaries from my family during that war. We have chests from that time, and I am the decendent of that guy on your 20 dollar bill. His brother married, and so I'm here now.

The fight was over land, not slavery. If you have any delusions about this, look at your favorite local economically enslaved mexican or h1b indian and get used to disappointment. So, yes, yank is not a pleasant term to us southerners. And I didn't know what foreigners meant in fact, by that term. I thought they were talking about somebody else. But they insisted that I was a yank.. I corrected them.

And yes, I am older than Britney Spears. But not as old as most.
