I lived in Georgia and Florida (although not north enough in Florida to be the US South), as well as vacationing across the SE US, and I can't recall once hearing somebody use Yankee. This feels like it's not a thing.

And, as a general rule, it's northerners who spend more time mocking the south, which makes turning around and pretending that the north is the wronged party all the more hilarious.

Not for nothing, but it's pretty fucking cringe that's your argument.

Have you been to an SEC school? A tailgate? After church lunch? Military base? People say it all the time in the south. Gulfport, Lake Charles, Mobile, where there is a lot of old money white people? Are you social? Do you interact with southerners less than others by chance?

My argument wasnt that it was cringe. It is that the behavior of southerners can be cringe in various contexts and worldviews.

It doesn't look like you had an argument. It looks like you got triggered and resorted to the safety of an ad hominem.
