Well I don't wanna spread only negativity asking people avout what they dislike. What words do you find funny.

Personally I like zesty, edging and the 'are they stupid?'

SK what internet lingo do you like?

I like the word "yeet". It gives me this mental image of someone chucking out something without any regard or care, like for example: "Even if we yeet the implications of such a statement out of the way, it still is not a good statement to come from the mouth of a head of state in such a meeting." Or: "Don't just yeet your clothes after taking them off, the hamper is there for a reason!" Or even: "Someone yote their banana peel and this guy slipped on it."

It will always be this to me:

And will never not make me smile.

I've heard that "YEET!" is for power, but "KOBE!" is for accuracy.

I do feel yeet has a timelessness to it, due to the onomatopoeia-ness/ying-yang synergy with yoink

Oh, yeah!!

We can say "Yoink that thing and yeet it out of here," and even if the person doesn't know what β€˜yoink’ nor β€˜yeet’ is, they can probably guess what you want them to do just from the sound "feels" alone.

Is the past tense of yeet yote or yeeted? I like yote better, personally.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

"Yeeted" before words that start with a vowel or an "h".

"Yote" before words that start with everything else.

I prefer "yote", but I wasn't even thinking it's the past tense, funny enough. I think what I had in mind earlier is "yote = had yeeted" but upon thinking more about it, it doesn't make any sense.

"Yeeted" seems to be becoming more common than "yote" tho, but it isn't too bad.

Yote has class.
