<\/a><\/p>\n“I believe this will broaden both our students’ vocabulary and our teachers’ too,” said professor of linguistics Dr. Simon Allcot. “I’ve even started to use the word in my everyday discourse, like how I was going to ‘yeet’ down a ten-page dissertation on the linguistic history of pronouns, but I ‘yeeted’ that idea away for an essay on the etymology of urban dictionary phrases.”<\/p>\n
Professor Allcot also confirmed that the past participle, or past tense, of “Yeet” is in fact “Yeeted” and not “Yote”. The word “Yote” derives from UK slang, meaning “to pour water on.”<\/p>\n
“And for the smart ass asking about ‘yite’ or ‘yaught,'” said Allcot, “one is a boat, the other is a bird. Neither of them are acceptable tenses for describing ‘when I snatched that bitch’s wig and yeeted it across the room.'” The English department believes yeeting “yeet” into the classroom will encourage students to attend classes instead of yeeting their life away on Fortnight.<\/p>\n
The “Yeet Yeet” initiative is sent to start in spring of 2019 with the addition of the new class ENG-Y130: Intro to Urban Speech. Professor Howard Danque is set to teach the first class.<\/p>\n
Plans to continue to modernize the English department have been hinted at with the formation of the new class ENG-YLOL: Etymology of Emojis, set to be offered in the fall of 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
