I went back and asked Mark Twain:

Yankee (yan-kee) n.  An overpaid curd-guzzling pretty-boy who runs 
god-fearing folks off the road of life with the cow-catcher on his sport 
utility chariot because they told him that they weren't interested in 
seeing him buy his way in to the grand cotillion again this year with 
his tainted doubloons borne of entertainment parchment sales in his 
Brobdingnagian home district.
