The Term "Yank"
It is often used to describe a person from the United States of America in countries around the world.
Where does it originate from? Yankee? Do you find it a Derogatory term? Irish people are refered to as "paddies" by some people in nations such as britain. To me it entirely depends on who is saying it (friend or stranger) and what context its said in wether its offensive or not
