A phrase used to break up an incredibly awkward silence. Although this tends to elicit nothing but awkward laughter.

Get the How bout them yankees? mug.
A facebook version of the popular game "Tag"
Where you post the silence breaker "How bout them yankees?" On any post you see, and you must keep posting on random posts until another facebook user replies with "How bout them yankees?" or any variant of the previous statement.

Once this has been done, they are now "IT" and you are free from the curse.
User1: How bout them yankees?
User2: The yankees ehhh?
User 1: I'm FREEE!!!! Your it!
User2: Damn
