("yeet")
The first instance of the word 'yeat' appears during World War II as a ship-to-ship Naval greeting to identify oneself as a a resident of
Newburyport, Massachusetts, USA. A response in kind indicated that the man had found a fellow Newburyporter.
The word has endured to this day, but the meaning has drastically evolved. While still used as a greeting, though rarely in the original spirit of the word, the word is now a profanity used in
innumerable contexts. Meanings include: "fuck that", "fuck you", "fuck off/get the fuck out of here", "fuck", "
fuckin' a", and "shit". The examples below will allow for the best understanding of the various uses of the word.
Often used in the phrase "yeat da bun".
