yellowcake 

Concentrated Uranium ore. Can be reprocessed into uranium gas, which is a feedstock for uranium enrichment. Enriched uranium can be used in nuclear weapons; at low levels can be used as fuel for nuclear energy plants.

yellowcake 

Non-extant, illusory.
The greatest material threat to freedom is the terrorists' potential acquisition of yellowcake uranium from Niger, and their subsequent assembly of either a "clean" or "dirty" nucular device.

Radioactive stuff, for use in making nukes, which should actually be aimed at the middle east and North Korea. Save the boys, nuke 'em.

Yellowface 

1. Refers to the practice in cinema or theatre of a non-Asian (typically white) actor/actress playing the role of an Asian character. More specifically, it refers to the use of makeup and prosthetics to give the actor a "more Asian" appearance; also, actors often affect a heavy accent and/or speak in poor English. Related to "blackface."

2. By extension, can mean the practice of taking on an ethnically stereotypical persona; metaphorically, an Asian actor may be "donning yellowface" merely by portraying an Asian character in an exaggerated and/or demeaning fashion.
1. In the infamous "Fu Manchu" series, Swedish actor Warner Oland, as well as actors Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee, and Peter Sellers, donned "yellowface" to portray the villainous, fictional Chinese title character.

2. Although "Madame Butterfly" stories usually feature a woman of Asian heritage in the role of the Asian female lead, the Asian actress can arguably be accused of being in "yellowface" by portraying such a stereotypical and unflattering character.

yellowjackets 

An often small and rather persistent (read: annoying) wasp that flourishes in the summer months and is easily recognized by the yellow portion around its midsection (the "jacket").
Yellowjackets buzzed around the table and ruined the barbecue.
