[@KrawmKruach]

Hell Ya Brother!

[@script_crafter]

For my non-English speaking friends, “Jeet” is not actually the word used to ask if someone has eaten as explained in the video! It became like this through a simple process! As the many accents of the southern US developed things changed, as you would expect! The southern accent is very fluid in the way it’s spoken, so sounds that would make someone stop that flow of speaking were removed! This lead to the word “you” being shortened to simply “ya’” so the “ou” sound didn’t stop the flow, turning the sentence into “Did ya’ eat?” This was then shortened even further over time, causing the whole sentence to become compressed down into only necessary sounds to facilitate the flow of speech while speaking very quickly, becoming something like ”D’y’eat?” The “Y” sound is being forced out right after the “D” sound when saying this, which leads to almost an aggressive “J” sound, which is followed very quickly by the word “Eat”, causing it to be pronounced “Jeet” or “Jeat”!

Yep English is weird. First it was Celtic English, native Welsh is kind of what that would of sounded like. Then Latin was introduced by Romans. Then the Angles and the Saxons who were German tribes settled and conquered. For a few hundred years they spoke this form of English but then the Vikings came a knocking, so Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes of various tribes started raiding and setting up colonies on the island especially around York. This was the Dane Law, or the land under the law of the Danes. English started to incorporate Nordic words like "thing" almost ever word with a "th" sound is Norse and all the days of the week are named after Norse gods except for Saturday and Sunday. After England had a Viking king on the throne everything just sort of integrated. Then the north men who settle in France the Normans invaded and added the french of that day into the language. It has a tendency English, to absorb other languages words into itself.
