    I have appropriated “sus” and “yeet” and sometimes “gucci”…I think those don’t even come from the same gens of slang, but they feel right in a sentence. Especially yeet.

      Yeet and Gucci are early zoomer at best, mostly later millenial terms as they became popular closer to 2015 than 2020

      Once you consider that “yeet” is the opposite of “yoink”, it really seems like it’s actually a millennial word. Though interestingly, my spell check considers “yeet” correct but not “yoink”

      I’m pretty sure my friends and I have incorrectly appropriated yeet. We’ll use it in the normal way but we’ll also say yeet like sweet or hell yeah. We’re all upper 20s now so it feels rather hilarious.
