I refuse to succumb to "yeet." Is it still around much?
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.
Yeet has been yote
Yeed.
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
As far as I know it's the opposite of yoink.
Yoink = taking something quite aggressively. Yeet = throwing about something.
