yeeting
Throwing with gusto
Yeeting is the present participle of yeet, a slang verb meaning to throw something with force and enthusiasm, often recklessly: He's yeeting his backpack across the room.
The word emerged from internet culture and emphasizes vigor over accuracy—you don't yeet something gently or carefully.
Extended use covers any forceful expulsion or departure: I'm yeeting myself out of this conversation.
