Quote:To yeet is to throw or to be ejected, suddenly, with great force and possibly enthusiasm. It's like one of those ultra specific German words that has 68 letters, and describes an extremely specific thing.This word always confused me too. I feel like I looked it up on urban dictionary once, years ago, and it was very non-specific. Kind of like “hoo-rah” in the military, which I was told can mean anything and everything, except the word “no”. Or “jawn” in Philly, which can be used as a replacement for any noun, and whatever word it substitutes is inferred by context (e.g. “hey hand me that metal jawn over there”). Apparently a mid NY slang is “hoosit”, abbreviated from “whatsitwhosit” used when you are trying to think of a word but are coming up short. “When’s that hoosit again?” or “take it off and show me your hoosit baby,” which is particularly unsexy and will invariably result in them panties coming up might quickly. Instead of being yeeted or defenestrated.
