gyatt

• gyat

Originally an AAVE pronunciation of God, most likely from the interjection, “Goddamn!” Popularized by YouTuber and Twitch streamer YourRAGE, who in June 2021 started a gag in which he would scream "GYATT" upon seeing an attractive woman's buttocks. In a 2023 video, he stated:^[1]

Everybody used to say "god damn" or "golly" but I said it weird. I'd always say "gyatt", I would never say "god damn". Chat realized that, and a way of making fun of me in 2020, they started typing "gyatt" to mock me.

The gag was subsequently adopted by other YouTubers, including Kai Cenat, resulting in the term being further popularized around early 2023.^[2][3][4]
