You see, "Yeet" and "Yoink" are like Yin and Yang, complete opposites yet closely related and needed. Unfortunately, the rarity of the word "Yoink" in modern English leads people to use "Yeet" as a catchall phrase for things falling under the category of "Yoink", despite the words being quite opposite. The most common and correct usage of "Yoink" as a verb is to intake, steal, withdraw, extract, take, or simply, to pull in. The most common usage of "Yeet" as a verb is to expel, jettison, eject, throw, etc. The main difference between the two verbs, "Yeet", and "Yoink" are their primary actions. Many a fool has used the verb "Yeet" when describing an action of pulling instead of its proper usage of pushing, throwing, or as an exclamation.
