Not the person you're replying to, but in the same boat, and I for one dipped out at "yeet" and "yoink"

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 37 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait, yoink? Like to snatch something up? That's at least 30 years old from the Simpsons.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 35 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yoink is older than scoobie doo

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 11 months ago

Zoinks

Yeet is from the Vine era. Gen Alpha has more recent stuff. You know, the whole "skibidi ohio fanum tax amogus rizzler fortnite gyat" thing.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

yeah i have no idea what most of those words mean. i only know that "rizz" is a short for charisma, and that gyat means a nice ass, probably

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The most confusing part of that is that alpha are millennials' children. Meaning people from my generation spawned those things. What.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Some of us did.

Lots of millenials with Gen Z kids tho

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Not a gen Z but I'm actually a fan of both of those words. It's like a forceful put or get.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's like a forceful put or get.

Now I kind-of want HTTP verbs for those.

YEET /api/v1/submit HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: curl/8.6.0
Accept: */*
Content-Type: application/json

...

YOINK /api/v1/list HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: curl/8.6.0
Accept: application/json

Not the same verbs, and specific to Emacs, but I’m kind of sad cutting and pasting won over killing and yanking

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Oh me too lol, use them all the time, anything that got popular past that though I need to get my little brother to translate

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't been in playschool when yeet became a thing.

[–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

*wouldn’t’ve

Well you know, I grew up in a rural, culturally lagged area, the slang didn't really catch up until tiktok
