As I am solidly a millenial, I guess I'll take it that I'm keeping hip to the lingo of kids these days :)

My definition of "Yeet" is to fling/throw/hurl something, typically with great vigor. Urban Dictionary defines it as "To discard an item at a high velocity." Derives from the Latin Iacio, From Proto-Italic jakjō‎, from Proto-Indo-European (H)yeh₁-‎ ("to throw, let go"). JK I just made that up, but it's actually plausible.

Never heard the "exclamation of excitement" definition.
