    As more and more people started to yeet, the name for the dance move slowly worked its way into casual conversation, as a new way to express excitement over something. For example, let's say you and your friends are dancing and one lands a flawless back flip. ('Cause you know; that could totally happen.) That would be your cue to yell out "yeet!" and let them know just how awesome they are.

  • I think this is the year for yeet to be a scrabble word.

    Also Scrabble dictionary, why not antidisestablishmentarianism

    (I have an old 2015 'to be a scrabble word' list based on twitter comments.)

  • slang term of inchoate and amorphous definition, but primarily used to refer to throwing or discarding something forcefully, and as a general interjection when doing so. 

    Originated with the dance thing popularized on Vine and Youtube, but at this date no longer commonly refers to it.
