I thought “yeet” meant “throw”, but now apparently it means “yes”?

I’m a teen and I’m lost too

When I was a teen, I was lost too. Then I got used to being lost. Now, no matter where I go, there I am.

it still means throw but it is also phonetically close to saying "ye" (as in enthusiastically saying yes with a long 'e' but not finishing the word) so people use it as such
