redowa

Via French from Czech rejdovák, from rej (“whirl”).

The Redowa or Pas de Basque was originally adapted to Polka-Mazurka music, and, consequently, was danced much slower than it is at present, adapted as it is to waltz and galop music. Hence the name Polka-Redowa: — Polka step, Redowa time.

1875, William B. DeGarmo, The Dance of Society, page 94:

"The Varsouvienne," says one reference, "apparently originated in France about 1853, in imitation of the Polish Mazurka, Polka, and Redowa.

1962, Sets in Order: The Magazine of Square Dancing, volume 14, page 23:

The redowa had some popularity in Paris about the year 1845 but in England it was more talked about than danced.

1969, Frances Rust, Dance In Society, page 75:

Both Martínez and Jiménez recorded prolifically, usually dance music—the ubiquitous polka as well as such universal favorites as redowas and schottisches.

1981, Manuel H. Peña, “The emergence of Conjunto Music, 1935-1955”, in Richard Bauman, Roger D. Abrahams, editors, And Other Neighborly Names: Social Process and Cultural Image in Texas Folklore, page 285:

It was imperative also for the social-minded pioneers to learn the styling and to know how to do the different dance steps required during a five- or six-figure cotillion or lancers. The dance steps included the polka, waltz, mazurka, redowa (two-step), and minuet.

→ French: dogue

→ German: Dogge

→ Italian: dogo

→ English: dogo

→ Portuguese: dogue

→ Russian: дог (dog)

→ Spanish: dogo

→ Volapük: dog, doeg

Inherited from Middle English dogge (akin to Scots dug), from Old English dogga, docga, of uncertain origin.
The original meaning seems to have been a common dog, as opposed to a well-bred one, or something like 'cur', and perhaps later came to be used for stocky dogs. Possibly a pet-form diminutive with suffix -ga (compare frocga (“frog”), *picga (“pig”)), appended to a base *dog-, *doc- of unclear origin and meaning. One possibility is Old English dox (“dark, swarthy”) (compare frocga from frox). Another proposal is that it derives from Proto-West Germanic *dugan (“to be suitable”), the origin of Old English dugan (“to be good, worthy, useful”), English dow, Dutch deugen, German taugen. The theory goes that it could have been an epithet for dogs, commonly used by children, meaning "good/useful animal". Another is that it is related to *docce (“stock, muscle”), from Proto-West Germanic *dokkā (“round mass, ball, muscle, doll”), whence English dock (“stumpy tail”).
In 14th-century England, hound (from Old English hund) was the general word for all domestic canines, and dog referred to a subtype resembling the modern mastiff and bulldog. By the 16th century, dog had become the general word, and hound had begun to refer only to breeds used for hunting. In the 16th century, the word dog was adopted by several continental European languages as their word for mastiff.
Despite similarities in forms and meaning, not related to Mbabaram dog.

This includes the development of hyena-like bone crushers (Osteoborus and Borophagus), a large bone-crushing hunting dog (Aelurodon), and another borophagine frugivorous dog (Carpocyon).

1989, John L. Gittleman, Carnivore Behavior, Ecology, and Evolution, page 561:

In the great old-fashioned fireplace behind the high iron dogs a log-fire crackled and snapped.

1902, Arthur Conan Doyle, The Hound of the Baskervilles:

A metal support for logs in a fireplace.

Hmm, see the girl with the red dress on
She can do the dog all night long.

1964, “What'd I Say”, Ray Charles (lyrics), performed by Elvis Presley:

Just like the dog but not so low
 Like the hully gully but not so slow
 Now baby swim, baby do the swim.

1964, “C'mon and Swim”, Thomas Coman and Sylvester Stewart (Sly Stone) (lyrics), performed by Bobby Freeman:

When Dandy Dinmont, after executing two or three caprioles, and cutting the Highland-fling, by way of ridicule of his wife's anxiety, at last deigned to sit down, and commit his round, black, shaggy bullet of a head to her inspection.

1815 February 24, [Walter Scott], chapter 3, in Guy Mannering; or, The Astrologer. […], volume II, Edinburgh: […] James Ballantyne and Co. for Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, […]; and Archibald Constable and Co., […], →OCLC:

She had never danced a step in her life, but that experienced girl capering with circus grace in the Highland fling would, she knew, be as nothing to her given such inspiriting music.

On top of the pumpkins' heads,
And the cabbage was dancing the highland fling
All over the onion beds.

yeet

Google Trends
Jeremy Clarkson
Know Your Meme
Twitter
Urban Dictionary
YouTube

Popularized in March 2014 by the "yeet" dance which went viral on the now-defunct video sharing site Vine. The earliest known yeet dance is recorded in a YouTube video uploaded on February 3, 2014. However, examples of the interjection can be as found much earlier, including a 1998 use by British presenter Jeremy Clarkson as well as a 2008 definition of "yeet yeet" on Urban Dictionary.
As an expression used when throwing something, apparently coined by Vine user David Banna in a Vine uploaded on or before March 28, 2014 in which he throws a CD and yells out "YEET!", as well as a Vine uploaded April 4, 2014 of a high school student hurling an empty soda can and shouting "This bitch empty! YEET!"
After the 2014 trend, the term faded into relative obscurity before resurging in 2018.

Yeet is the new twerk and while it may look like nothing more than a full-body flail, there are some very important techniques you need to know before you embark on your own yeet adventure. Here are seven different ways you can yeet.

2014 April 8, “The 7 Different Ways You Can #Yeet”, in Cambio:

Meechie's videos reach hundreds of thousands, sometimes even eclipsing the views of the artists' official visuals, but lately his biggest successes are instead dedicated to specific dances like the whip, yeet, and even the still-regional “Hit Dem Folks” dance, which mimics a basketball player dunking.

2015 June 1, David Turner, “Interview: Youtube^([sic]) Star SheLovesMeechie Dances from the Garage to the Stage”, in Noisey:

The yeet began, culturally, with a Vine of a kid affectionately nicknamed Lil Meatball doing the dance on his school's track.

2015 September 22, Rembert Browne, “A Note on 'Jumpman' by Metro Boomin ft. Drake and Future”, in Grantland:

Especially black teens, who created a disproportionate number of popular Vines and used the social network to demonstrate wit, intelligence, creativity, and comic timing that was rarely given a spotlight elsewhere. That included dance trends like the yeet.

2016 October 27, “The Death of Vine Makes the Internet a Worse Place”, in New York Magazine:

A type of dance involving dipping one's shoulder and swinging both hands out, while an audience repeatedly chants "YEET yah, yah, yah, yah".
