I like the word "yeet". It gives me this mental image of someone chucking out something without any regard or care, like for example: "Even if we yeet the implications of such a statement out of the way, it still is not a good statement to come from the mouth of a head of state in such a meeting." Or: "Don't just yeet your clothes after taking them off, the hamper is there for a reason!" Or even: "Someone yote their banana peel and this guy slipped on it."
I do feel yeet has a timelessness to it, due to the onomatopoeia-ness/ying-yang synergy with yoink
Oh, yeah!!
We can say "Yoink that thing and yeet it out of here," and even if the person doesn't know what ‘yoink’ nor ‘yeet’ is, they can probably guess what you want them to do just from the sound "feels" alone.
