Yeet is a slang word that functions broadly with the meaning “to throw,” but is especially used to emphasize forcefulness and a lack of concern for the thing being thrown. (You don’t yeet something if you’re worried that it might break.)

I fully accept I've entered the 'grumpy old man' stage of life, but there's a perfectly good word for that: chuck.

verb: chuck

1.
throw (something) carelessly or casually.
"someone chucked a brick through the window"

And I'd say that people have used 'chuck' to emphasize forcefulness as well, but if you want to go with the above definition, then we also have hurl!

verb: hurl

throw (an object) with great force.
"rioters hurled a brick through the windshield of a car"

"Learnings" has seemingly permeated top flight rugby and it causes me continual aggravation hearing it on telly. Again, we already have a word for it: "lesson(s)". But, no, rugby coaches and players are happy to say "We'll take learnings from this game...".

Dancer !

Never mind all the other shite they do to try & reduce obesity; if they spent the same money getting kids involved in dance, they'd probably massively increase general fitness, & instill life long good habits.

You won't find a fitter group of individuals than dancers.
