An amusing aside, I remember reading something like this before...
To a Brit a Yankee is an American,
to an American a Yankee is a Northerner,
to a Northerner a Yankee is a New Englander,
to a New Englander a Yankee is a Vermonter,
and to a Vermonter a Yankee is someone that eats pie for breakfast.
