a sudden and unexplained loss of skills in experienced athletes. Some credit the yips to a loss of fine motor skills; others consider the condition to be primarily psychological, however it is poorly understood and has no known treatment or therapy. Athletes affected by the yips sometimes recover their ability, which may require a change in technique. Many are forced to abandon their sport at the highest level.
Did you see Jon Lester has the Yips? Yeah he can’t throw to first base.
An individual who holds both the characterisitcs of a yuppie and a hipster. They are usually successful in business and feel special or unique for liking the underground indie culture.
For the yipster, the term 9 to 5 is reversed. They will work until 9pm, then go out and party at an undergroundclub til 5am...and make it back at work by 10.
A well-respected former player and current commentator for the FGC -- namely Marvel vs. Capcom (mahvel). A real OG.
Notably, a compilation of his MvC2 commentary was uploaded to YouTube in 2007 titled "mahvel baybee!" that coined a number of phrases near and dear to the heart of anyone who loved/loves Marvel vs. Capcom.
e.g. "IT'S MAHVEL BAYBEE!" "Oh he got da mango Sentinel" "Mag-fucking-neto" "Scoops Häagen-Dazs" "Oh he's so Pringles. Where yo curleh mustache at?" etc.
The video is so well-known in the FGC that Capcom themselves made references to it in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Crazy, right?
Yipes: "I don't mean to be cliché, but... he got dat mango Sentinel."
