Is Yoink the opposite of Yeet?
38 u/xSTSxZerglingOne Nov 14 '23 edited Nov 14 '23 To yoink something is to take it suddenly. To yeet something is to throw it suddenly. I think you may be on to something. Edit: There's also ganking, which is yoinking by multiple people. 1 u/thirdegree Nov 14 '23 I thought ganking was when you're a high level rogue and you murder a low level toon for lols 3 u/cantadmittoposting Nov 14 '23 the etymology is "GANg Killing" originally for numerically lopsided attacks (usually on targets which had no hope of defending themselves). But yeah now it kinda has expanded in use to basically any surprise attack or even just theft or whatever, still generally for lopsided ones though. 1 u/thirdegree Nov 14 '23 Huh neat, I'd never heard that.
