Olds, Now You Can Look Up 'Yeet' in the Dictionary Instead of Asking the Youth

Posted: 16 Jul 2021 05:44 PM PDT

While I have not considered myself part of the Youth for quite a few years now, I did not yet feel like I was an Old—until today, when I found out that Dictionary.com had added the word "yeet" to its repertoire.
