A measurement of length of a piece of writing, particularly when indicating a length excessive for the genre. A Yegge is approximately 4000 words or 25 kilobytes.

Named for well known programmer and technical blogger Steve Yegge, whose blog up to about 2009 was notorious for entries of approximately 1 or 2 Yegges in length, vastly exceeding the typical length of blog entries in the genre.
"I knew breaking up with him was a good idea after I got an email two Yegges long listing all the reasons why I should take him back."

a game commonly played by 20 something year old frat guys

3 chicks must be identified together one wearing yoga pants, one with leggings and one with jeggings = one YEG and one point for you

commonly mistakened for a drinking game, it can still offer a substitute for good, cold sober fun
Guys Yegging:

guy 1: "dude i totally snagged that last YEG"
guy 2: "stop trippin' fool, those were clearly not jeggings, did you not see the pockets?"
