The British originally used Yankee Doodle to mock colonial militia during the French and Indian War, especially the line about “sticking a feather in his cap and calling it macaroni,” which made fun of colonists trying to look fashionable. By the time of the American Revolutionary War, American troops had embraced the song and proudly sang it themselves as a marching tune.

America has a long, proud, and storied tradition of being told what were doing is stupid, and responding by doing the stupid thing much more loudly than before.

British: bunch of dumbass yankees. Americans: hell yeah you my yankah, waddup yankah
