So when did "yes" or "yeah" become "YASSSSSSS"?

No. It came from black women. Black gay men co opted our shyt.

Word?

Word?

Yeah. The whole gay black male culture comes from black women. They coopted the sass and all that from black women, in particular, older black women.

yo i never heard of any of these shows. are they on vh1 or a&e. that's the only two channels that pimp gay black men.

Drag race comes on Logo, Fashion Queens comes on Bravo.

Yeah. The whole gay black male culture comes from black women. They coopted the sass and all that from black women, in particular, older black women.

hmm, makes sense.

I agree. Whether I say yes or yassss depends on the context, but I use both. Also, I've been saying yasss for years and can't even tell you where I got it from but it definitely wasn't from a tv show with gay or trans men.
