Cash, the 'never never' and now

[Dylan]

First off, referring to Americans as Yankee's is like us calling everyone from the UK a Cockney or a Geordie.

Let's not get on people due to their nationality, it is a very sticky subject that can quickly turn bad.

I never know if Yanks is an insult? Is it? If I ever say it, its not meant as 1, do Yanks take offence at the word?

I didn't know that. What region does Yankee refer to?

Moyes has been given a budget and hes decided how to spend it, hes offered much of the first team squad new contracts, which is fair enough.

He didnt say he didnt have any money he said he didnt have the funds for Donovan and a move seemed unlikely not impossable, from his comments i got that his age and fee didnt really fit in with his policy.

I have the feeling we will see another couple of additions before the start of the season.

Would really like to see us go for Tom Cairney.

This coupled with the fact the Banks are under pressure over not loaning, and that in the past two years we've had a banking crisis and the biggest recession since World War II...

I agree about the additions. Still think some young 'uns will be joining us if the price is right.

Not being funny D. But Yankee is the term most Brits/Limeys refer to residents of the United States. Its not meant to be insulting. Its just the historical term we've grown up with applying to you.

Well you would be surprised how many people in this country get pigeon holed to one place. Anyway I agree. The American's I know are decent folk. But you have to admit that sometimes they are a cliche, but then I suppose we have them with skanky fat bitches wearing their pj's to asda and curlers in their hair. I [Poor language removed] you not.

North Eastern if I remember rightly? The affluent area, like New York, Philadelphia, am I right Dylan?

I suppose that explains the NY Yankees then.

You got it.

Guys from the south really take offense to it.

I completely understand (remember, I grew up over there with you guys), but the way it is used in this thread is what I am gonna put a stop to.

Sure there are some affluent area's in that region, but there are massive sh*t-holes there too. Like the whole of New Jersey

Ironic that the old Jersey is quite nice.

Although it did make for a great setting for one of my favourite shows of all time.

I say yankees, to refer to Americans, sometimes. This is news to me that it's offensive though. I just use it in the same way I'd call British people Brits.

I'll think twice now; nothing worse than causing offense when it's unintentional.

Study American History mate, I love it. Especially as its born partly by people from my country who wanted something different.

I liked studying American history from the early 20th century, and around the wars. That was fascinating. And I've learned a good bit about George Washington from all the American TV I've watched
