00:00What is yapping? Could you or someone you love be a yapper?

00:05If you've been online recently, you've probably heard the terms yap, yapper, or yapping in some sort of tweet or TikTok,

00:12but do they mean what they sound like they mean?

00:15The online colloquial use of yapping is faithful to the Oxford definition,

00:21which is to talk in a silly, noisy, or unusually annoying way.

00:26If someone's a yapper, it means that they talk too much, and not much more or less than that.

00:32Naturally, this slang did not originate on TikTok.

00:36Rappers like Nas and Jay-Z used the term yap in this context, like, late in the 90s and odds,

00:43and this urban dictionary definition is almost 20 years old.

00:48If you already knew all of this and don't really get why I'm making this video,

00:55and I've been diagnosed as a yapper by several medical professionals, okay? Yeah.
