Yike

Similar to like but a much deeper, stronger background. This word is for when you have those feelings for someone that you can’t even put into words, so you start to create your own. “Yike” is an all-around display in the depth of your love for someone or something.

Friend 1.) “Here babe, I brought you a glass of water.”

yike

It's similar to yikes except you cant add the 's' because the situation is such a big yikes that you had to save a millisecond of time. It can also be used when you are too lazy to put an 's' at the end.
