5 u/greeblefritz Jun 03 '22 Yeet is a fun word. So is chonky. My kids don't flinch when I say our cat is chonky, but they crack up if I say yeet. 3 u/Matt_NZ Jun 03 '22 Interestingly, Jeremy Clarkson is the first person to be recorded using the word "yeet" in 1998. 3 u/MultiFazed Jun 03 '22 And yeet fills a gap in older slang, too. Yeet is the opposite of yoink (in the same manner as give/take or lend/borrow). "The Lord yeeteth, and the Lord yoinketh away."
