LOL. I bet you're thinking of the New England definition of "Yankee." Down here in the good ol' South anyone north of the Ohio River, as well as anyone west of the Mississippi River, except for Texans and Arkansans, is Yankee.
Do big cat eye biscuits and milk gravy make your tummy stand up and holler? Does the song "Dixie" lift your spirits, get your blood pumping, and make your toes start to tap? Do you naturally use the word "fixin'" as a noun, a verb, and an adverb? Well, do you even
use the word 'fixin'? When told that someone has "grits" is your first impression that they have something good to eat, and not that they have a strong personality? When you're stuck behind a little old lady driving only 30 mph do you say, "Bless her heart!" rather than #@!%&!?
All marks of a true Southerner!
