Yes, "yank-job" sounds like it could be dirty. But it's not.

Oh, it's still dirty, all right. Maybe not in the context you've provided, but rest assured: use of the term predates this discussion by decades.

Those yanks were always a bit dodgy!

As always, the best word here.

You think my word is always the best? I guess I know who my usual one vote comes from. (Now I'm trying to think of a way of saying "thanks" that doesn't sound sarcastic after that remark.)
