The traditional, affirmative pirate-speak usage of "yar" has become antiquated. The contemporary definitions are as follows:
1. Among snowboarders and skiiers, it is a synonym for the colloquial word "gnar," referring to snow.
2. Drawing off the previous definition, yar has recently started to represent coke (cocaine) (aka snow).
1. I shredded so much yar today. The pow was fresh!
2. Let's call up your dealer to buy some yar.
