it still means throw but it is also phonetically close to saying "ye" (as in enthusiastically saying yes with a long 'e' but not finishing the word) so people use it as such
I have this paranoid delusion that if I don't know the newest slang that I am going to be in a bad\deadly situation that I could have avoided if I had known the slang. So I stay on top of it and use the ones I like the most.

Whenever if feel uncool for being old I just remember that I wasn’t cool when I was younger either, so I’ve lost nothing.

Paradoxically once you get to middle age, the other middle-aged people think you're uncool if you do know slang from younger generations.
It's annoying because I can't help picking it up.

It all comes back around sooner or later.
A few years ago everyone was saying "ouf" a lot, made them sound like my family member who was born in the 1930s.

I thought “yeet” meant “throw”, but now apparently it means “yes”?

I’m a teen and I’m lost too
don@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
When I was a teen, I was lost too. Then I got used to being lost. Now, no matter where I go, there I am.

What if the only way to save yourself is to know correctly used historical slang?
