Yeat

[Zipporah Schumaker]

A colloquial word used in Newburyport, Massachusetts at least before the Second World War (1939-1945), allegedly shouted from one naval ship to another to identify a resident of Newburyport. Also used to show both affirmation and disapproval (yes, no); first word of the Newburyport slang-phrase yeat the bun. Yeat can be used as a greeting, as a noun, an interjection, an adjective, and a verb.

The first instance of the word yeat appears during World War II as a ship-to-ship Naval greeting to identify oneself as a a resident of Newburyport, Massachusetts, USA. A response in kind indicated that the man had found a fellow Newburyporter.
The word has endured to this day, but the meaning has drastically evolved. While still used as a greeting, though rarely in the original spirit of the word, the word is now a profanity used in innumerable contexts. Meanings include: [fuck that], [fuck you], [fuck off]/[get the fuck out of here], [fuck], [fuckin a], and [shit]. The examples below will allow for the best understanding of the various uses of the word.
Often used in the phrase [yeat da bun].
(Yeet noun, interjection, adjective, verb

Originating from Newburyport, Massachusetts.

Yeat is a derogatory reaction to display disagreement or discontent with either a person, situation, opinion or proposed situation.

Those who dont understand the usage of the word will often say that it has the capability to take on any meaning the speaker intends. This is completely wrong.

Yeat most often replaces the words and phrases,

Bullshit

[Rumor has it] this was a Scandanavian Seafarers greeting.
Often used in crowds to find other [port] residents, and interestingly, sometimes to calm uncomfortable violent situations among port residents. One group in possible conflict with another may yell [Yeat]! and if the other group responds in kind, the situation calms.

@Tina what does that mean exactly, contraction of you eat

[Guest]

In my opinion it’s an old word that some numpty has started to use to mean lots of things. What is wrong with you people just use yes or no or I like it or don’t like it, it takes thought and imagination to say “oh that’s awesome “ or “I totally believe you “ just ridiculous that people can’t say what they actually mean
