An underground group of hip, saucy, modern quilters and sewers from the Portland, Oregon region. The Sweet Hot Yams aspire to be roller derby queens (and are currently perfecting their Sweet Hot Yam-Slam jam).
Someone in another part of the world: Wish I could be a Sweet Hot Yam.

Sweet Hot Yams: Sorry... gotta live in the Portlandia area. You can however be an associate SHY... you can be a Mug Rug.

Someone: What the fug?

SHY: Fug yeah.

Get the Sweet Hot Yams mug.
Synonymous with "Mean Girls". Grown women who have not emotionally progressed beyond high school. Known to delight in belittling others and promoting themselves socially at the expense of others.
The Sweet Hot Yams giggled and clearly delighted in humiliating the new girl.
