Yeet definition: what "Yeet" means and examples

February 9, 2026

An exclamation used when throwing something with force or discarding something quickly.

Yeet is both a verb and an interjection. It’s the sound of power and speed. If you throw a ball as hard as you can, you "yeet" it. It can also mean to "get rid of" something or someone. (e.g., "He yeeted himself out of the group chat.") It’s a very energetic, somewhat chaotic word that carries a sense of "don't care" attitude.

Examples:

"He just yeeted his empty water bottle into the bin from across the room."
"I’m going to yeet these old shoes, they’re falling apart."
"Yeet! Look how far that went!"
