The Urban Dictionary has the definitions; seems to be highly associated with 'innah city yutes'.

Ah, yes. "Yeet: To discard an item at high velocity."

Maybe HiPoint thought that was a bit ambiguous?

originally, they thought it meant to "ejaculate"

You know Hi-Point could really be missing a golden marketing opportunity with this. Call it the Yeet Cannon and totally pimp it out, chrome plating, fake mother of pearl grips some gold inlay on the roll marked, "YEET CANNON", maybe mount the sights on the side of the slide to facilitate the gangsta' grip...

Huh? I'm thoroughly corn pone.

Will it have a threaded barrel option so i can also discreetly yeet?

So HK went so far as to register the domain name
www.yeetkanone.com

If you go to that, you end up at the mk23.

Nah, just laser engrave “Yeet Cannon” on this factory finish.

there is a change.org petition for it.

POS9 would be a fitting name.

One can yeet. And having done so, you have yought.

And my hillbilly family would greet me when I arrived with:
Didjaeet yet?
Translation: Have you dined recently?

The Sceet-Yeet!

The YeetSkeeter! (With engraved mosquito)

The BoomBox! (With old school over the shoulder boom box graphics)

YeetBuster! (With thug inside circle/slash like the movie)

The possibilities are limitless

Waitaminute... Did HK really just admit that they don't listen to their customers?

Yes, openly with self depricating humor
