Yes Gawd 

Lit. translated to “Dear God I thank thee,” or just simply “Hell yes!” So, in other words, shit’s goin good! It’s a term for (and usually in response to) anything relevant at the time. It is mostly used (to great effect) by the LGBTQIA+; specifically, the gay men / boys, who use it 50% of the time. The other 49% is used by drag queens (who started it), and 1% by hetero girls. But they gotta be the “A” in the LGBTQIA, for ally. Pssh, allies; in thirst! Girl please. So long story short? You worship the cock? Are you an ass-man? Do you tuck your junk for your paid (or free) gigs, hunty? Then you very likely say “Yes Gawd”. Not many other community letters of the alphabet-of-equality say it.

Likely started in the cities of Mesquite, Texas and Paris, Texas (and probably other places); popularized in 2014 on RuPaul’s Drag Race, by Texas drag queen Laganja Estranja. Her drag mentor Alyssa Edwards & sister Shangela Laquifa Wadley likely say it because of her. It’s a term of acceptance for how things are going positively, in a low to high key southern gaggy gay style. If Dolly Parton really was a gay southern man, “Yes GAWD!” We love her, btw. Don’t say nothing bad about D.P. Oh wait. D.P.? Lol. Yes Gawd mama.
1. Is the day going well for you? “Yes GAWD!”

2. If you see your reflection, & would fuck your damn self, then “Yes GAWD, ma-MAW!”

3. If that fine ass mofo from last week is cumming in 15 minutes wit the good D, & he wants you waiting for him; ass-up, doggy style, door unlocked-“Oh, yes GAWD mama! We gon work that D for daddy. Or is daddy gonna work me out? Okurrrr! Haha, yes gawd. Y’all don’t know good dick like I know good dick okurrrr?”
Also, if the over-the-top, southern, gaggy vibe is desired, it’s important to emphasize a bit of an overbite on the “gaaaawd”, and to sort of pull your lower lip up and against your front lower teeth. Doesn’t make sense? Just watch any video of Alyssa Edwards’s on YouTube. It’s easy for her with virtually no chin. No tea, no shade; no pink lemonade, baby. Is what it mothafuckin is! She rich and I’m po’ on urban dictionary. So yesgawd mamaw…the house down boots yassss 💋👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
