Bahahaha. This is just going to become a "lets bash the yanks" thread, isnt it. I can see it comming over the hill.

Well I accept no responsibility for any Yank bashing though I would like my fair say.

hang on! at no point did i bash the yanks. 'yank' is just a Brit name for them, in the same way as they call us 'Limeys' which is nothing bad really, that just refers to the sailors answer to the problem of scurvy.

Limey

Limey is an old American and Canadian slang nickname for the British, originally referring to British sailors. The term is believed to derive from lime-juicer, referring to the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy practice of supplying lime juice to British sailors to prevent scurvy in the 19th century. The term is thought to have originated in the Caribbean in the 1880s.
