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 5 days 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 5 days ago (1 children)

Yoink is older than scoobie doo

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.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days 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 2 points 4 days ago

Some of us did.

Lots of millenials with Gen Z kids tho

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days 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

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days 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.

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 5 days 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 5 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days 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
