#Origin of yoink update#
Update - apparently these days, everybody yeets. Wikitionary does have a relevant entry, glossed "To throw an object a long distance or with a sudden or forceful motion", with quotations going back to 2018 - including another Brady appearance:īrady gladly participated and yeeted (maybe the past tense of yeet, meaning to throw, is "yote"?) a football through Damon's window. The OED entry also references the verb thowt, glossed as "To address (a person) with the pronoun thou", and cited to the same 15th-century source(s):ġ440 Promptorium Parvulorum (Harl. Meanwhile, Miriam-Webster has no entry for yeet, and the OED registers it as a transitive verb meaning "To address (a person) by the pronoun ye instead of thou", with 1.5 15th-century citations:ġ440 Promptorium Parvulorum (Harl. “I did get warned from the NFL about that so… I won’t throw another Surface.” Brady said.Īs far as I can tell, Brady didn't use the word yeet himself, though I confess that I didn't listen to every second of the relevant 37-minute podcast. Should the seven-time Super Bowl champion throw the tablet again, he will be fined.
Now, per Brady on his Let’s Go podcast that aired Monday, the NFL is not going to let the Surface abuse continue. On the Sunday Night Football stage, December 19th, Tom Brady and the Buccaneers were swept for the second consecutive regular season against the Saints - a frustrating shut-out loss that had Brady spiking a poor Microsoft Surface tablet on the sideline. I didn't learn this from the not-very-reliable Urban Dictionary, but from Umar Shakir, " Tom Brady says the next sideline Surface he yeets will cost him: Microsoft’s star tablet may finally be safe on the sideline", The Verge : Today I learned that yeet means (among other things) "To discard an item at a high velocity".
