Close enough. I consider a Yankee anyone who lives above the Mason-Dixon line. But that's another topic for another time.

From terms for completing a video game to the Mason-Dixon line.

That's why Nintendo Life is the best.

Never use the word Yank to describe Americans again.

The Yankees are a team of pure malice and evil, and should always lose the world series.

I look at the credits and hold my Wii Remote in the air like a sword, I do a little dance, and I get sad because now I can't do anything else in the game and it was fun.

And then I do heroic poses.

Here in Brazil, most commonly, we say: "Eu zerei o jogo!" which means "I zeroed the game!"

As Fox says, "Mishaw-complete!" (Mission complete with an accent)

For some reason, I used to think that he was speaking German. I couldn't understand a word he said, and my friend said that he was German, so I believed it.

The Game.

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

Maybe he does!! I really don't know. To me it sounds like he's saying 'mission complete', but who knows, for all I know he COULD be speaking German!!

Yank = American.
Although I think if you are American, a Yank is someone from the New York New England area.
Or something.
It's a non-offensive term for Americans anyway, similar to Brit, Aussie, etc.

I always thought that Yank was the "offensive" version that people outside of the US use for people who live in the US. If my US history is accurate the Yankies were one half of the American Civil war, the North I think. Us "outside of the US people" started to use it as a general term for Americans after a certain character on the Looney Toons and with it we our other major American stereotypes. Kinda like how we call Brits "Poms" (to much winging from the winging Poms), Italians and Greeks "Wogs", Australians/Aussies (Ossies in the US) get called "skips" etc...

I think "Kiwi" for people from New Zealand is similar... but I think "Kiwi" is the non-offensive New Zealand term while the offensive term is, and always will be, sheep f***er

The "Yank" thing I'm familiar with, but I've never heard of the rest of these. o_O

here

here's another good one but its Australia specific
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Australian_English_ter...
lots of them are considered very offensive even here (or especially here). Its odd seeing how many of these terms aren't used outside of Australia.

Beat, finished, clocked, or just plain old completed?

I've always said clocked, and this is the term used by peeps around here. (England)

What do the Yanks say?

I'm from England and I've never heard anybody say they have clocked a game, if they did I would ask them what they are talking about

Beat or Completed.

I finish a game (credits) then I complete it (100%). I'm afraid I've never 'clocked' a game either, haven't got a clue what that's about, is it a southern thing Trin, where ya from?

Rawr!
