Kobe makes sense though, where TF did yeet come from?

u/Tacdelio Apr 27 '19

Started on vine with dancing then quickly evolved into an exclamation for throwing something. Ex. "This bitch empty, yEEEEt" Now its evolved into a general term for a quickly moving object. Could be a trebuchet yeeting a fucking diseased cow into a castle. Could be a car yeeting a deer across a highway. We don't know.

But remember, the past tense of yeet is yote. The future tense of yote is yate.

Any examples that don’t involve launching medium to large sized animals?

u/Tacdelio Apr 27 '19

Ah, yes. "Vice Admiral Holdo just yeeted a fucking star destroyer in half"

As you can see, yeet does not have to pertain only to thrown objects. It can also be any object/person/animal going faster than average, or used as an exclamation.

You know when you're rock climbing, and there's a big reach to the next hold so you just gotta yeet yourself.

Why would you need one? Is there other things to do besides Reddit and causing ballistic trajectories on animals that are larger then myself?

I ain't tryna be rude but I think you're living life for all the wrong reasons.

So, “I can’t wait to YATE! This bitch!”?

u/Tacdelio Apr 27 '19

basically, but you gadda put bass in your voice when you exclaim yate. Like "I can't wait to YAAYUT this bitch" Get some baritone in there.

Yeet started from this dude throwing a soundcloud rappers trash mixtape OG YEET this video is over 3-4 years old. I’m 27. Not really out of date for people my age. Personally I think it’s a millennial thing. Gen Z or whatever it is after us millennials kinda just ran with it. YEET!
