Noun. yeet (plural yeets) (Internet) A type of dance with flailing arm motions, popularized by social media website Vine.
verb. yeeted; yeeting; yeets. transitive verb. : to throw especially with force and without regard for the thing being thrown.
Yeet is a slang word that functions broadly with the meaning “to throw,” but is especially used to emphasize forcefulness and a lack of concern for the thing being thrown. (You don't yeet something if you're worried that it might break.)
Yeet is an exclamation of excitement, approval, surprise, or all-around energy, often as issued when doing a dance move or throwing something.
He just grabbed my phone and yeeted it into the river. Yeet me that water bottle. used when throwing something, especially with a lot of force: I heard someone shout "yeet" as the ball hurtled toward me.
