[skeet]
What does skeet mean?
Not that dudes need another way to say cum, but they’ve got one with skeet, which is slang for ejaculating.
But, skeet shooting is also a pretty common meaning thanks to our favorite game, Fortnite. It is the sport of shooting clay pigeons.
Skeet also shows up in yeet skeet, an expression of excitement like “Yay!”
Where does skeet come from?
Skeet wasn’t—and isn’t—always a sexual word. Back in the 1880s, skeet could mean “squirting fluid.” The sport of skeet shooting clay-pigeons is from the 1920s (which has become popular again due to the game Fortnite). In the 1970s, heroin users would skeet, slang for “flushing” out needles or injecting the drug.
The underlying sense of skeet is ejection. It doesn’t take any leap of the imagination to see how this ejection extended to “ejaculation.” Helping to launch the ejaculatory skeet was “Get Low,” a 2002 song by Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz that featured the hook:
To the window, to the wall!
Til the sweat drop down my balls
Til all these bitches crawl
Til all skeet skeet motherfuckers, all skeet skeet god damn!
Til all skeet skeet motherfuckers, all skeet skeet god damn!
In 2003, Dave Chappelle took the ball and rolled with it when he used the term in a stand-up performance, bringing skeet to a wider audience right as Chappelle’s Show was becoming popular.
By 2009, yeet skeet came around as an expression of general excitement. This is around the same time yeet, later appearing in the yeet dance and meme in the 2010s, started to express enthusiasm on its own.

Who uses skeet?
People (OK, guys) often use skeet just as a humorous way to talk about ejaculating.

It is also used when talking about the game Fortnite … because they just added a skeet shooting feature.

Skeet can also refer to Skeet Ulrich from 1990s flicks like Scream and The Craft or Riverdale.It’s not a common name, so fans often just refer to him as Skeet … or make jokes at his expense.
Skeet is also a slang used in Newfoundland English to disparage “punk” kids. If you think of a word like skeezy, you’ll get it.
People also use yeet skeet to express (more non-sexual) excitement.
