Restored previous version after Patcathat1 vandalized it.

The Oxford English Dictionary says that 'Yo' as a greeting goes back to Middle English. Was 1960s Philadelphia in some kind of timewarp? Matthew 16:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

>>Yo! No! It wasn't. It was 'down the shore'. K&A

Should this entry have a link to Yoism?

Yoism and format

Yeh, i think it should at least make a link to Yoism.. This article really needs to have some formatting, its just a block of text. (I would do it but im not very good at 'wikify'ing...) Samoen 16:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uses

There are a bunch of the uses of "yo" stated here which I've never heard. Anywhere. In fact the only usage I'm aware of is as a substitute for "hi" or "hey". Alot of the uses listed are uses of "woah" or somthing similar. Since when did "yo" mean chill out? Since when do people say "yo" when they're amazed?



I've heard a lot of them used the way this article describes.
