Meaning of yanqui




Anónimo

yanqui
  14

Derogatory or derogatory denomination of the American citizen. The average American is so called because of his very patriotic character, stretched personality and arrogance. In fact, its origin dates back to the War of Independence and to a terminological phonetic sense. If we go even deeper etymological or deconstructive, we can trace its origin in the large number of Johns that existed.

It means Juanito (diminutive of John, who in Dutch is Jan, pronounced Yan, who was a very popular name). Although some authors say that it is a word of Comanche origin and means cowardly, timid. Yankee is a derogatory way of referring to Americans, especially in Latin America. In principle it was only used to refer to new England residents, who were mostly Dutch.
