I refuse to succumb to "yeet." Is it still around much?

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's just a synonym for throwing something now

Throwing suddenly and imprecisely. You wouldn't call a baseball pitch a yeet.

You would call throwing the ball from the furthest spot in center left field home a yeet though. As I have observed in youth baseball

No, it isn't.

I once heard it described as a verb tense of "yoink" and that made me feel a lot better about it slipping into my regular usage.

I'm still cheugy af tho, according to my 26 year old roommate, so maybe don't take advice from me.

Take it easy, homeslice xx
