History behind the term 'Yeet'


2008

Origins on the internet

The term 'yeet' first came into existence around 2008 in various online gaming communities. It emerged as a way for players to express excitement or satisfaction after successfully performing a difficult move or achieving a high score. Originally, 'yeet' was used as a verbal exclamation accompanied by a physical gesture, often involving throwing or flinging something with force.


2014

Vine makes 'yeet' popular

The term 'yeet' gained widespread popularity in 2014 when it started being used on Vine, a now-defunct short-form video hosting platform. In these Vine videos, people would record themselves performing various stunts, dances, or athletic moves while exclaiming 'yeet' to celebrate or emphasize their actions. The word quickly caught on and became synonymous with excitement, energy, and even dominance.


2016

Viral dance challenges

By 2016, 'yeet' had transitioned from a simple exclamation to a dance move. It became popularized through viral videos on social media platforms like Vine, TikTok, and Instagram. The 'yeet dance' involved the performer throwing their arms outwards while simultaneously leaning back or bending their knees. The move was often incorporated into dance challenges, where people would try to outdo each other with their creativity and style.



2018

Mainstream recognition

As 'yeet' continued to gain traction, it found its way into mainstream culture. The term was often used in memes, song lyrics, and popular media. In 2018, 'yeet' was even recognized by the Oxford English Dictionary as an informal verb meaning 'to throw forcefully.' The inclusion of 'yeet' in the dictionary further solidified its place in contemporary vocabulary.


Present

Continued evolution and usage

Today, 'yeet' has become an integral part of internet slang and youth culture. It has expanded beyond its original gaming and Vine origins and is now used as a versatile expression of excitement, triumph, or any intense emotion. 'Yeet' has transcended its initial meaning and has evolved into a word that signifies exuberance and enthusiasm, often accompanied by physical movements or gestures.
