I just accidentally made up a new word

[Oeditpus Rex]

"Yat."



Now it needs a definition.



Go! :bounce:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

1. Is this going to be like the "Herk" thing?

:D I missed that episode. :hi: :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. This was purely accidental

A typo, if you must know — while I was attempting to type "hat."

The "herk" bit was entirely contrived. Kinda like "shock and awe" or "mission accomplished."

:P

[originalpckelly]

2. Yat: a yellow cat...

fat on another person's body

the product of a cat and a yak

yat, as in "where yat?"

[originalpckelly]

3. I like yat's myself...

those cak's smell funny.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

4. Yat:

"The yat to shred the mountain was consuming."

5. Definition: Yat.

6. Yat

The occurance of Jesus appearing on ordinary items, such as grilled cheese toast.

"What's that?"

Owner of the cheese toast: "That's Yat! And, I'm a-gonna sell it on eBay!"

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Mmmmm... I like it, but

10. ohh poo

:-( OK -- what about...














swink? :9

[evlbstrd]

12. That's cool.

I didn't know about that, though I knew the port of New Orleans took in a lot of famine Irish. Nasty stories about that.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Nuh-UH!

"Yat" is quite obviously of Yiddish origin. :P

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. It's the 32nd letter of the Cyrillic alphabet...

Not to mention the abbreviation for Attawapiskat Airport.

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Ah, whadda the Cyrillians know?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. Only what Cyril told them.

They weren't allowed to know anything more.

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Yeah, he even named 'em

Egotistical snot that he was. :spank:

[Courtesy Flush]

25. You beat me to it

Comes from their common expression "Where 'yat?" which means hello or how's it going.

[LeftyMom]

18. yat- current location

as in "where yat?"

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Sounds like Newfie dialect.

[SKKY]

20. I've got it! I've got it! I've been looking for a word for this...

...It's what I do every morning in the shower when the steam hits my lungs, and what's left of 13 years of smoking
comes up and leaves my mouth. At least, it sure sounds like that word.

Yat! Yat!

[marzipanni]

21. Bob Ross used that word when he taught painting on PBS

for instance on this YouTube at 1:28

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. 'Somethin' about like yat'

:rofl:

I bow to the happy little linguistic skills of the late Mr. Ross.

[Rhythm]

23. "Yat", according to the southern dictionary

denotes location... "where yat?"

[chknltl]

24. C'mon this is the lounge for Petesake....

Every cat owner knows that "yat" is the sound kitty makes when coughin' up a furball.

So why did I, a known dog owner, have to be the one to explain this to ya'll?

[Arkham House]

26. a Young Adolescent Twit

A "yat" is an upper-class twit still in an English "public" school...they're still working on removing training bras, waking up neighbors with their bikes, they heap abuse on MacDonald's employees, and they can't--quite--even try to jump over a matchbox... "Yat". Works for me...

[madinmaryland]

27. Yat is screwn!!1!! Seriesly!!1!!

[SacredCow]

28. Hate to tell ya....

But "Yat" has been around for a while....

29. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but this is not new

I know from college days when I lived in New Orleans. N'awlins natives idiom for "where are you" as in where are you in the book we have to read for history, was "Where yat" Not being from New Orleans, we referred to them as "Yats"
