The yin and yang represent duality, used in ancient Chinese philosophy. It illustrates how opposing forces could be interconnected and complement each other. The yin (dark) is associated with femininity and shadows whereas the yang, (light) is associated with masculinity, passion and growth.
The symbol for Yin and Yang are very common and can be easily recognised, but not everyone knows the meaning behind it.

Okay... Don't listen to anyone else because most of them are dumbasses. The spiral (Yin-Yang) is most commonly Good and Evil (White and Black), but it can be among other things as long at it's opposing the other.
Dan: Yin Yang Is spelled Y-I-N-G Y-A-N-G. Cory: No, dumbass, read a book, it's spelled Y-I-N Y-A-N-G.

The other definition here claiming that yin yang refers to anus is correct, and older people in certain regions of the US know this very well. This site is for "slang" usages, not the formal dictionary definition which would refer to the Chinese symbol. When a person says something like, "Wow, this store has widgets up the yin yang", it does not mean plethora. Rather, it's a substitution for the word ass. And in a sexual context, yin yang does indeed refer to the anus. "Taking it up the yin yang" is probably the most used phrase, although it's now somewhat antiquated, and it means taking it up the anus, or male/female part which is common to men and women, which is how the word was derived since the Chinese symbol represents the male/female balance.
