a sudden and unexplained loss of skills in experienced athletes. Some credit the yips to a loss of fine motor skills; others consider the condition to be primarily psychological, however it is poorly understood and has no known treatment or therapy. Athletes affected by the yips sometimes recover their ability, which may require a change in technique. Many are forced to abandon their sport at the highest level.
Did you see Jon Lester has the Yips? Yeah he can’t throw to first base.

The "yips" is a set of conditions associated with having your nerves badly rattled. Can affect the performance of athletes and in the case of combat veterans is a symptom of PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
1) I got the yips and bogeyed the rest of the holes.

2) My post military career prospects aren't looking so good with a bad case of the combat yips and and drinking myself to sleep every night.

The highest level in authority of affirmation. Its power overrules any other form of yes, affirmative, yeah, or roger. Once this affirmation is accepted, its authority cannot be declined. If in some miraculous instance the power of yomps is denied, the universe will implode. Three times.
Jack: Jill, will you go to prom with me?
Jill: Yomps.
Later...
Jack: Hey Jill, I'm really sorry but I can't go to prom with you.
Universe implodes. Three times.
