Pronunciation: yay buck pees
Meaning:
A playful or sarcastic phrase used to call someone out for being slow, wasting time, or being incompetent. Literally translates to “you bake pies,” but it’s not about actual baking — it’s said when someone is dragging their feet, slacking off, or just not doing what they’re supposed to.
Origin:
Comes from South African Afrikaans slang. The humor comes from the random literal meaning — baking pies — being used to mock someone for being slow or useless, as if they’re off baking instead of getting things done.
