Sometimes words just sound right.

This is indeed pulled out of the ass. The origin of the word 'yeet' is meme from vine. It did get added to several big boy dictionaries. There is speculation that the word was used regionally in the 2000s.

Now a bunch of people think it has some latin origin because it sounds convincing while a quick google search (or AI because, 2023) debunks the claim.

It is a fun word though, i enjoy using it. :3

Marvellous work!

All roads lead to PIE. Or is that from? Oh, and maybe not "all."

But seriously, I went through a linguistics phase in my reading and came away with the sense that Proto Indo European is a lot closer to us than it seems at first glance.

It's just how language evolves. Maybe the extra force insinuated in "yeet" helps differentiate, depending on the person.

In the end, as long as you understand, then what has been communicated has succeeded, even if it's weird.

"Yeet" carries an implication of force and disregard that "throw" does not. A dart player is not yeeting the darts.

Now go and learn about Kobe. It’s relayed to yeet.
