For those who may not be familiar, a "Yankee" typically refers to someone from the Northeastern United States, particularly New England. The term often carries connotations of being direct, straightforward, and sometimes a bit...brash. My cousin embodied these traits to a T.

Because of him, I’ve learned to:

: The story often centers on the protagonist discovering their cousin's "soft side" or dealing with his awkward attempts at being helpful.

: The use of "bitchy" is noteworthy. This term can be seen as derogatory, implying that the cousin in question has a complaining or nagging demeanor. The self-description or description of this cousin as a "Yankee-Type Guy" could serve to highlight cultural or regional differences within a narrative or lyrical context.
