What does the “Yeet” meme mean?

This meme expresses overflowing energy, often linked to youth culture and absurd humor. The dance version conveys raw, uninhibited joy, while the verbal usage (throwing something) highlights sudden, violent, or comedic actions. It serves to mark excitement or emphasize a quick movement.

Where does the “Yeet” meme come from?

The exact origin of this dance remains uncertain according to available sources. The first known video comes from YouTuber Milik Fullilove, published on February 12, 2014, without details on the filming location or show. Mass viral spread occurred in March 2014 thanks to a Vine video by Jasmine Nicole featuring a boy nicknamed Lil Meatball. This post, dated March 20, 2014, reportedly exceeded 40 million loops. Concurrently, the word acquired a verbal meaning: a July 2014 video shows a high school girl yelling 'Yeet!' while throwing a can, defining the action of propelling an object with force. Vine and YouTube platforms fueled this rapid dissemination.
