So apparently the term yewt is derogatory to native Americans

Adrielle Lone Biker of the Apocalypse

Haha. That’s exactly why we use the term “yewt”

mobomanjoe

8/24/19 6:58am

It was coined here on CB specifically to avoid being derogatory to Native

And kewgars is offensive to women. Just ask CCHS admin:

Ha. A Utah fan saying someone is being derogatory

I thought you would have gone with sacrament Jell-O shots.

Jay Rick

8/24/19 7:07am

It reminds me of a 5th grade derogatory term

Medute

8/24/19 7:16am

Not hard for a Ute to know that. Anyone you deal with

Sick burn

Medute

8/24/19 8:29am

Hey I know the truth hurts.

Baron

8/24/19 9:59am

The fake baptisms and sacrament Jell-O shots were signs of class and maturity

Reference number 42,000,001. Let it go brother

Medute

8/24/19 8:30am

It is inexplicable that many so-called ALUFs tolerate the worst ...

shammy

8/24/19 8:47am

Let it go brother. It’s over

Medute

8/24/19 8:53am

If you're going to be yewt hurt over a silly term...

cajuncoug

8/24/19 11:27am

You guys just don’t get it

Medute

8/24/19 12:39pm

Or you're using obvious silliness as a weak way to prop yourself up

The term Zoobie has been around far longer than Yewt.

kccougar

8/24/19 7:31am

I remember the phrase "I'd rather be a zoobie than go to hogle u!"

UberDeek

8/24/19 8:00am

Yep, and if someone uses that word, it tells me a lot about them as well

Medute

8/24/19 8:30am

As do many yewt coeds.

Yewts on CB attacking the maturity and intellect of basically all of CB. Nice.

DraperCoug22

8/24/19 7:42am

Most people here do not use the term “Yewt”

Medute

8/24/19 8:31am

Many do. I'd say even most. And "yewt" differentiates between a "Utah"...

BleedCougarBlue2

8/24/19 9:39am

I don’t think most use it and while you have your definitions

Medute

8/24/19 9:45am

Have you ever read anti-BYU comments on the Trib? Ever? Now you know who...

BleedCougarBlue2

8/24/19 10:09am

I never said I was offended

Medute

8/24/19 10:15am

Your equating it to ES humor says much more about you than anyone else.

Lolo

8/24/19 7:43am

You can do better than this

Medute

8/24/19 8:31am

No need.

Lolo

8/24/19 4:10pm

Ya mean like writing "byU" in online comments? Or saying "kewgars"?

BleedCougarBlue2

8/24/19 9:35am

Yep, if you use those terms, it also tells me about your maturity

Medute

8/24/19 9:43am

Sadly, I agree with Medute it’s a childish stupid term used by lame BYU fans....

Pretorian

8/24/19 9:55am

Oh shut up, Medyewt

Kind of like TDS....

That was my first thought. Judging by his clothing the dude is an expert on

IceCreamButt

It is clear from his feed that he is a BYU hater.

Call them Uwoks!.....I’m sure that they would like that name better.

JohnnyC

The term "yewt" is a black eye on our fanbase; not theirs

MaxxPower

8/24/19 7:35am

Agree

rerunc

8/24/19 9:35am

Yep agreed

RUNBYU1

8/24/19 10:48am

It’s not to the black eye level, but still a word I would happily see disappear.

Super Chicken

8/24/19 11:03am

I don't give a yewt

Preppy

8/24/19 11:31am

Don’t worry because they are not Utes

A Ute is a member of a native American tribe. A Yewt is a something else and

As a BYU fan it is better to error on the side of civility and respect when it comes to this land's native ancestry.
