not really sure where to put this, The Yeet Cannon by hi-point
So hi-point has a naming contest for a pistol they are revealing. It starts on facebook. It goes Boaty mcboat face real fast.

NAME THE NINE
Pase 2 - starts soon.
In this phase we will post our favorite model number suggestions for everyone to vote on.

#Namethe9
#hipointfirearms #hipoint #hipointc9 #hipoint9mm #pewpew #sundaygunday

The Yeet Cannon is born.



THey try and back peddle on the naming of the new pistol.

The internet bullies the hell out of them.

the result is epic


Sccy jumps in over them not naming it Yeet Cannon


H&K jumps in on the Yeet Cannon Name




Aero Precision make a yeet cannon lower

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...

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.
