Yankee<\/a>:
\n1683, a name applied disparagingly by Du. settlers in New Amsterdam (New York) to English colonists in neighboring Connecticut. It may be from Du. Janke, lit. “Little John,” dim. of common personal name Jan; or it may be from Jan Kes familiar form of “John Cornelius,” or perhaps an alt. of Jan Kees, dial. variant of Jan Kaas, lit. “John Cheese,” the generic nickname the Flemings used for Dutchmen. It originally seems to have been applied insultingly to Dutch, especially freebooters, before they turned around and slapped it on the English. In Eng. a term of contempt (1750s) before its use as a general term for “native of New England” (1765); during the American Revolution it became a disparaging British word for all American native or inhabitants. Shortened form Yank in reference to “an American” first recorded 1778.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade! It might be a little sour as you perfect the recipe. But isn’t that what our foreparents did in New England by turning the mean-spirited nickname “Yankee” into a proudly worn moniker? So here in this end-of-July heat, I’m trying to make a little rhetorical lemonade.<\/p>\n

I’ve opened a cafepress store, A Time to Laugh<\/a>, showcasing some things that make me giggle.<\/p>\n

And we can’t forget about the very popular blog for educated believing women, True Womanhood in the New Millenium<\/a>. Go take a look-see!<\/p>\n

And, of course, my favorite person has now become my favorite blogger<\/a>. \ud83d\ude00 It makes me smile. Because for so long so many people have been telling me to put a lid on it. And instead of Grant joining them, he joined me<\/em>.\u00a0This true Christian knight realized that\u00a0perhaps there was something to this blogging that was making everyone upset.<\/p>\n

The rhetorician in me notices that while my blogging voice is rather Esther-like and metaphorical, he pulls no punches, the Peter that he is. That’s my good ol’ Missouri boy. I knew I married good stock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
