Exactly. I moved here at first and had some old guy give me crap and tell me you either are visiting and you're a yankee or moved here, bought a house and you are a damn yankee. I told him we're f*cking renting so what does that make us? He just laughed, never had thought of that response. But yeah they'll get offended before you do every time.
