Yank

Pull or tug
Short for Yankee

When visiting New Zealand in 1994, a group of college aged kids overheard my family talking in a restaurant. We overheard one of them say (not unkindly), "Oh, they're Yanks..." and the others nodded. They'd probably been speculating why our children weren't attending school that day, and heard our accents, then realized we were on vacation.

I'd never been referred to as a Yank before and hadn't realized it was a common nickname for Americans until that day. I rather liked it, but then again, I'm a big fan of the Yankee baseball team!
