Yank may came from the song "Yankee Doodle Dandle"? Read Yankee Doodle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Oooops I was wrong by about a hundred years..See: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Yankee Some time you can ask where "Gringo" comes from too... "Green grow the rushes ho!" another song! Canadians already had their Thanksgiving. Lucky Canucks!  Just think about all those poor turkeys that are sacrificed for us over weight norte americanos It's on the fourth Thursday of November.. It takes some days to prepare all that food.. no diets here! Then there's the Day of the Covenant after T-day. Better stop while I'm behind.. Last edited by arthra; 11-18-2011 at 01:58 PM. | |
