Macaroni was a slightly derisive term used in England to describe a style of dress which sought to emulate the latest fashions from the Continent (France). Wigs, lace, ruffles were put together in manners excessive and gaudy. Concurrent with this quest or craze for sartorial equivalence the culinary world was enjoying Pasta. In this period the generic was Macaroni not pasta and the same folks going overboard with the clothing served macaroni morning noon and night to show their culture and refinement in all things. The more staid folks laughed at them and applied the term Macaroni to those they thought deserved it.
Flash across the sea where soldiers camped sometimes within earshot of each other. The Red Coats sang the song Yankee Doodle to deride the competition.
Yankee Doodle (Doodle is as it was then a word associated with Fool, when you doodle you fool around)
Went to town riding on a pony ( The English were proud of their Calvary made up of well bred livestock where the colonist made do with a mix of not so pretty horses)
Stuck a feather in his hat and called it Macaroni (The far extremes of sartorial style represented here to diminish the colonial even more.) I do not remember which battle but a large number of Red Coats were captured and marched to internment with the Colonial Soldiers singing that tune to the embarrassed British soldiers. There after Yankee Doodle was adopted as a slap in the face to those who thought so little of the Colonist Soldier.
In the 1700 and 1800's it meant fashionable.

During the Revolutionary War the British were trying to make fun of us, the Yankees, In the song referring to "macaroni" was the same as calling someone very fashionable. This is an insult because they were saying how stupid it is to put feathers in someones hat and saying that its good taste.
it was the british actually mocking the patriots with a song because it you listen to the lyrics it quotes: "Macaroni" (Something Fancy) the patriots later used this in battle during the Rev. War (:
Yes, a Yankee soldier and a union soldier fought on the same side in the American Civil War (1861-65). The term "Yankee" was used by southerners to denote someone from the north, or the union. In this case, "Union" and "Yankee" mean the same thing. Nobody knows why the South ever came up with that term, though.
"Smoked Yankee" refers to the derogatory term given to American soldiers during the Spanish-American War. It was used by the Spanish soldiers to mock and belittle the American troops, implying that they would be defeated or destroyed like smoked meat.
Global Maplestory. No, I think what they mean is what is the GMS on the Yankee's uniform stand for. George Michael Steinbrenner, the owner of the Yankees who recently died (July 4, 1930 to July 14, 2010).

The pony's name wasn't macaroni, yankee doodle was talking about the feather and in the old days macaroni did not just mean pasta, it was a style of Italian dress. When he called the feather macaroni (a dandy) he was stating he was a gentleman of some social standing.

"Yankee Doodle" began as a British song ridiculing America's ragtag militia. Yankee doodles were simpletons riding ponies and trying to look sophisticated by sticking feathers in their hats. One explanation for"Yankee Doodle, keep it up. Yankee Doodle, dandy. Mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy." is that the words were sung by the British as a reminder to the Yankees that dance steps in Europe were different from those in America. The Yankees were being reminded to check to see that they were doing the dance steps correctly and holding the girl the correct way.

In "Johnny Tremain," the phrase "poor Yankee doodle" is used to describe the American colonists who were facing the British army, symbolized as the "great scarlet dragon." It conveys the idea that ordinary citizens were at a disadvantage against the powerful British forces they were up against.
