Past tense of “yeet”, said cheekily. The meme is mostly just “creative conjugation” vs an established form.
(My personal favorite is ‘the Lord yeeteth and the Lord yoinketh away’ 
)
Also @RooTheDay your post had me cackling. Hope your hand is okay!

Have you noticed any difference using this? Debating on getting one for my horse when we trail ride since you can get it where it covers the ears and he can be soothed at the same time if it works.
Oh no! I am so sorry you got hurt, but my are you funny! Fingers (but maybe not yours) crossed for an uneventful healing and continued positive updates.

An exceedingly reasonable question, @axl. @fivestrideline nailed it (and may in the process have added a new quote to my arsenal.)
This is also a great question! It’s the Equifit SilentFit shown here in Parachute Size (aka O/S.) And yes, her ears Really Are that big:
I personally went for versatility: I got the earless Fenwick mask (in XL, in case anyone’s wondering about sizing reference; a L probably also could have worked but I like the looser fit best), the aforementioned SilentFit bonnet, and a pair of the Equifit contoured ear plugs.
Two out of three of these things worked.
With one emphatic shake of her head, one ear plug sailed straight into her water bucket and the other somehow popped OVER the 8’ stall wall into her neighbor’s territory. Still don’t know how she managed that but it was enough to terminate the Great Ear Plug Experiment.
To actually answer your question, though: The difference between no bonnet/no mask and bonnet + mask is amazing. She was previously on 11 150 mg traz 2x/day plus I was acing her for every ride and she was still blowing through the ace almost every day despite the fact that I’d come out very early or very late when things were quiet. She’s now on 5 150 mg traz 2x/day, I only ace her when something’s going on (maybe a day every couple weeks), and yet the pendulum has still swung back to Boredom vs. Terror. (These are the two emotions when dealing with a stall-rest horse.)
But I haven’t done science on Mask No Bonnet vs. Bonnet No Mask vs. Bonnet Mask, and while I am usually very pro-science, in this specific instance I have surprisingly little desire to do so. (Since there is no real scientific evidence for why or how the mask would work, that also hurt me in my soul. But broadly, I would rather that my soul hurt vs., say, some of my bones.)
That said, they put one on her during her previous rehab stint (the one where I paid people, instead of DIYing it) while she was on the water treadmill and she seemed very chill about it, and a few people at my barn have them and seem to think they help. So… can’t hurt anything except your wallet, I guess?

Thanks, I think. I am of an age and from a geographic area when this word was primarily used in the question “yeet yet?” And the response would be something like “Nope, what’s for dinner?”

My riding teacher’s “personal” horse wears a Fenwick Face Mask with Ears a few years ago. She puts it on EVERY ride. With it on he stays mostly calm, he listens to his rider, and he “deals” with stuff without freaking out.
Without it he is on constant ALERT–POSSIBLE DANGER about every movement or rustle in the brush. Horse killing tigers are hunting HIM, cleverly lurking in the underbrush (no matter how sparse the underbrush is.)
I put the Fenwick Face Mask with ears on every horse I ride nowadays, every single time I ride them, even though the horse might not “need” it. I have MS and bad balance and this piece of gear lets me have calmer rides.
Clearly still not topic related - Another option is to make the link not show and just have whatever words you want to show in its place.
Like this -

This is accomplished by using brackets around the words you want to show and parenthesis around the link. That above link with spaces added so it does not show as a link.
