    Not the person you’re replying to, but in the same boat, and I for one dipped out at “yeet” and “yoink”

      Wait, yoink? Like to snatch something up? That’s at least 30 years old from the Simpsons.

      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.

        The most confusing part of that is that alpha are millennials’ children. Meaning people from my generation spawned those things. What.

        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

      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
