Examples

“A popular Hollywood movie that year was My Cousin Vinny, starring Joe Pesci as a New York lawyer who goes to a backwater Alabama town to defend⟳ a relative accused of murder⟳. Vinny, who speaks with a strong Brooklyn accent, pronounces “two youths” as “two yoots.” The line got big laughs. Starting in training camp, assistant coach Cap Raeder would refer⟳ to Zhitnik and Sydor as those “two yoots,” which never failed to loosen up the room.”

“Took me almost 40 years to realise⟳ I'd inadvertently photographed an example of Jean-Michel Basquiat's and Al Diaz's SAMO© collaboration... while I was taking a shot of T&V, the yoots hanging out on the steps next door insisted I photograph them too.”
