My coworker asked me what I was having for lunch yesterday. I told her I brought a sandwich, and after being questioned to the type of sandwich I brought, I told her it was a hard salami sandwich.
She frowned a bit and said in a disgusted voice, "salami? That's a Yankee meat."
Using the word "yankee" wasn't a descriptive word of my sandwich. It was meant as an insult.
Don't describe anything as "yankee" unless you intend it to be insulting.
Tomorrow's lunch will be a ham sandwich.
