Where does Yesn’t come from?
Yesn’t is an alternative to “no” that is often used on social-media sites, especially Twitter. It is a contraction of the the words yes and not, with the apostrophe taking the place of the o in not. It is also often used on social media without the apostrophe, too. Who cares about grammar, right?
The word gained popularity in May, 2018 with the creation of a Change.org petition by Ewan Maloney. Titled “Change the word ‘No’ in the English language to ‘Yesn’t’,” the petition was not directed at anyone or thing in particular; however, it quickly drew thousands of co-signers.
Fans also created a subreddit devoted to the subject of yesn’t—it’s not a real thing if it’s not on Reddit.
