Not only are Americans self centered (re: World Series). You can't get more self centered than one hill in Boston. You see when you use the word 'Yank' on the eastern side of the pond you mean Americans from the USA. When Southerners use it they mean north of the Mason-Dixon Line. North of the Mason Dixon line they mean New England. In New England they mean Massachusetts. In Massachusetts they mean Boston.

In Boston they mean Beacon Hill.

Not for nothing do Bostonians call their environs "The Hub".

Go Red Sox. Now I truly have to dig my cap out of the closet.
