Here it is. He says "Cindy and I are breaking up" - then proceeds with the review of Laphroaig 10 Year Single Malt Scotch, which he tells us has been his go-to single malt - it's a "no compromise" Malt, he assures us.

"Yankees" was the unofficial term of the people of the Union (who won the war and became the united states) vs the Confederates ("Rebs") who supported slavery

    it depends. Those foreign to the US are likely to say "yanks" to mean all Americans, but Americans may find it slightly odd to refer to Southerners as Yankees.

    In the same way as calling a Catholic from Belfast "British" - it's true but it could feel a little awkward.

    Why would rekgiyhsve anything to do with it ? I think just calling someone Irish who identified as British or vice versa.

    That seems to make more sense. Calling someone English who is Scottish Welsh Irish. Similar.

    However yanks is meant to be derogatory so it may get its point across regardless
