since no one else will say it, i will say it "jeet" is short for the ethnic slur "Pajeet" which became famous on 4chan around 2014 and was since co-opted widely in crypto circles it is not an innocent or meaningless term and it's heartbreaking to see so many people treat it like it is. ignorance is no longer an excuse.

I had no idea the reference. I will henceforth use YEET instead. I’d much rather proliferate old vine culture instead

Thank you for the 411. Now /weknowdis 🧠 I was ignorant. Since I enjoy not being a douche whenever possible, I will 86 $degen that word from my vocabulary. 🤝 Will I continue to say it? 🚫

Wait, wtf? I thought "getting jeeted" (of a bus, of a poker table) was a common phrase. Was I being an asshole?

Yeah and degen means a degenerate but people use it like it’s a good thing.
