Has anyone ever found a slang term coined in the last decade that they unironically enjoy using?

I am not fond of slang, but even I have to admit it is a fun word. It also has a great meaning. To throw something with great speed in any general direction but usually quite far.

He yeeted his phone out the window when he noticed there was a spider on the screen. It was not the best decision, but it was the choice he made.

This word is 3 decades old.

Yes! It always makes me smile to hear it used. I think it sounds weird coming out of my own mouth, but it perfectly accentuates a funny story.

Hate that one. It just doesn't feel like something being thrown with force to me.

Cringe is a very old and commonly used word.
