Is 'yote' the past tense of 'yeet'? I assumed it'd be 'yeeted'
the way language works, it's just however people choose to use it. Use the version you think is best.
personally i go for "yate" beause that sounds funny.
Go for both with yoted
"Proper" conjugations are not totally settled, especially given its slang nature. Yeet does feel like it might be strong (stem-changing), though there's really no authority on it. Interestingly, I found on googling that there is a version of the verb yeet stemming from Middle English verb yeten, which has two variations. The first meant "to address with the pronoun ye" (e.g., as opposed to thou) and had weak conjugations (i.e., yeeted/yeted). The other sense referred to pouring or moving liquids and could be either strong or weak (simple past: yet or yote, or yeted; participle: yote, yoten, yeted). So, looking for historical comparisons is also unhelpful.
I like "yet" as a past tense because it sounds needlessly confusing.
Yet sounds like the way an old southern man would use it in past tense.
"Fella just wouldn't shut up, so I yet 'im into the gorge."
That's a very circumlocutious way of saying IDK, and I thank you for it.

This is the best thing I have read today, thank you!
yeah guys, remember to use the proper tense of yet in your emails to corporate
I loved the random seemingly unrelated Huckleberry Finn quote in the middle of their definition of yote
