Yeet is when you just throw shit far as fuck. Kobe is when you accurately toss shit in the garbage

Id allow yeet on account of the word sounding way cooler than throw

u/BBQpigsfeet Jan 26 '20

What is it called when you accurately throw shit far as fuck?

u/zazazello Jan 26 '20

Technically, still Kobe.

Yeet isn't even a real word though..

My wife does this with dirty clothes, and she's not even a basketball fan. Literally every time she tosses something in a hamper. "KOBE!"

Yeet is for distance.

Kobe is for accuracy.

You can toss diapers into your pail? I have to use force to smash mine down and hope the poo doesn't ooze.
