[COLOR="blue"]Though, the few people that still use the word ''Yankee'' seem to use it as a general term for northerners. Also, I have to ask: Does anyone actually use the word Dixie? The only time I've ever heard it used was when it's a name of paper-ware, or a monkey in a Donkey Kong game. These words are like, what you'd expect to hear from some stereotypical ''deep south'' movie or something.[/COLOR]
