I was born in CA and moved to VT when I was ONE MONTH old. Kids in school called me a flatlander. Commie bastards.

In Georgia I was called a Yankee for being born in Atlanta. Folks everywhere are weird.

In 1970, I spent a summer in Augusta. And I heard that soooo many times! I go to 7-11 and ask for a slushy, and instead of "sure" or "what flavor" or something like that, it was a stoic, "y'all a Yankee" lol, real life southern gothic.

Nice! Me too! I stayed in that old haunted hotel called the Partridge Inn on Walton. Really a cool place! They were a little more low-key with the Yankee hatin' this time around, lol
