Have you ever been "Yank Bashed"?

I've seen Van cats in several documentaries and it's always been pronounced van (as in van you drive) and also checking online dictionaries for the Turkish place name specify that pronunciation.
Coming from somewhere doesn't necessarily mean you know the correct pronunciation.

I was at a football game once sitting next to this Aussie couple when I asked who they were rooting for. They both started laughing hysterically, saying that the word "root" down under is the same as "fuck" up here...meaning the physical act. So I basically asked them "What team are you having sex for?"

If they were yankin' my crank, I'd love for another Aussie to tell me the truth about that.
