Yas (slang)

Index Yas (slang)

Yas is a slang word defined by Oxygen's Scout Durwood as "a more emphatic 'yes' often paired with 'queen.' The more A's in a yaaaaas, the higher the grade of excitement." "Yas" was added to Oxford Dictionaries in 2017, and defined the word as a form of exclamation meaning, "expressing great pleasure or excitement". [1]
