yankee-belle (noun) : A person who was born and lived their early childhood in the Southern USA, but moved to the Northern USA as a teenager or young adult and lost most, but not all of their southern accent.
She was confused. She was born in the South but raised in the North, so is she a yaknee or a southern belle? Her mother told her that was easy; she was a yankee-belle.
