htravar got a reaction from katie & sifa in Can I still call you Yanks when I live there?
I wouldn't recommend calling Southerners Yanks. Also, the appopriate term for ill-mannered Southerners is redneck. Hillbillies are really, in my opinion, people who live in the Appalachians. Now, just to be clear, don't call anyone a redneck to their face because they probably have a gun and don't mind using it. Sometimes it's better just to talk about people behind their backs.
P.S. Polite Southerners never refer to Notherners as Yankees anyway, because it's a derogatory term in the South.
