I made a half-assed guess as to its meaning based on the fact that I’ve heard of an elite basketball player by that name. I got pretty close, according to urban dictionary.
Each to their own, but I may remind you that whenever your generation was growing up it’s incredibly likely that you were using words your parents didn’t use.
I can see you’ve already been informed how language evolves, and if you can’t accept that then I don’t know what to say. I guess I could ask why you ain’t talking all Shakespearean?
Hell, whether you partake or not, it’s part of the process. Slang becomes part of the language if it’s good, and it doesn’t stick if enough people think it’s dumb. Keep doing what you’re doing!

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.
I think there’s a sublety missing that yeet implies thrown with great force but without care for the direction.
Yeet for distance, kobe for accuracy.
And suddenness!
“Yeet” carries an implication of force and disregard that “throw” does not. A dart player is not yeeting the darts.
Now that you mention it, they should start yeeting darts!
Now go and learn about Kobe. It’s relayed to yeet.
New word! Thanks.

Hence me writing each to their own. I would have thought that conveyed that I support you right to have an opinion.
To a 40 year old. Gee thanks buddy for the condescending tone.
And goes on to say
Have a wonderful day. I was merely trying to point out that language changes. I tried that in a civil manner, perhaps that didn’t come across.
Yeet has actually been around for multiple years now. People have been saying it since at least 2018, probably longer.
First time I’ve seen someone use Shakespearian English to say go fuck yourself. Well done.
That’s not Shakespearean English by any stretch of the imagination. It’s not even close. It’s some rando’s poorly-educated approximation.

Kobe didn’t pass. Well, not in the basketball sense. Sorry.
