American here. I have never seen a fellow American refer to themself as a Yank. I thought that word was reserved for WWII British soldiers.

You never sang "Yankee Doodle," or "Yankee Doodle Dandy" on July 4, even as a kid? I'm southern as can be and these were staples on the Fourth, Memorial and Labor Days, as well as bright red hotdogs, chips (crisps), soda and Budweiser and PBR.

I've heard those songs, but it doesn't mean I call myself a yank in conversation. It sounds antiquated.
