Definition of "Yankee" gets complicated.

Can mean a USer. In the US can mean a northerner. Among northern USers, can mean New Englanders. Hmm. Among New Englanders, mostly means those from Maine. Not living in Main, but at least 3 generations of Maine Yankees.

My New Hampshuh born and bred husband claims I was born a Yankee -- despite having the misfortune to be born in Upper Michigan (ayuh, I'm a Yooper) and brought up in Wisconsin on the shores of Lake Michigan instead of the mighty Atlantic.

I feel honored to be considered a Yankee by someone born in New Hampshuh and from many New England generations.
