I used to patiently explain to them this definition of a real Yankee.
The people who live in Tennesee and Kentucky and states in a line with Indiana, indignantly say: "We are not yankees!" Its those people who live up New York way....
When you ask, The people in NY and Jersey say, WE are not yankees ( except for baseball) Those people live up in Maine, NH and Vermont.
When you ask any New Englander from those states, who the REAL Yankees are, they will tell you this....
Ayah.... its those Vermonters who eat pie for breakfast!!!

Being a native of NH, well.... We laugh at ourselves!
