Yep, moving to Charlotte from Long Island I hear Yankee from time to time or Damn Yankee because I have no intentions of leaving. Doesn't bother me but when someone I am familiar with says it to me I will sometimes break balls and respond with Stupid Hillbilly or F'in Redneck which does usually offend. Needless to say the Yankee comments usually stop after throwing those terms at them a couple of times.
