yeet

Fling with gusto

Yeet is an exclamation accompanying a forceful throw or movement, emphasizing power over accuracy: She yeeted the ball across the field.

The word emerged from internet culture in the 2010s and quickly became a verb meaning to throw something with vigor or reckless abandon.

It extends to any sudden, forceful action: I yeeted myself out of that conversation.

The past tense is contested—yote appears alongside yeeted.
