"Oh my God! I sooo can't believe you just said that!", "Yeah well she aint got nuffin' ...So, does like “Yo!” like count?
(If not, you’ll jus half to cole me down on the pannie sty, you baddy daddy lamatai tabby chai!)
"Oh my God! I sooo can't believe you just said that!", "Yeah well she aint got nuffin' ...Not that I would ever ascribe ancient Greek religious history to linguistic lackwits *but* “Yo” is pretty much how “Io!” is pronounced in the invocation to the Horned God, Pan.
[”Io! Pan!”]
It basically was a call and hail to the god, either in general worship or invocation designed to produce a physical incarnation/manifestation.
It’s still used in pagan ritual but I don’t know how they keep a straight face, considering its context, now.
[”Yo, mama!” would be a good analogy...sort of]...:)
