Gyat

Gyat is an expression of surprise people, often Gen Zers and Alphas, use on social sites (like TikTok and Twitter) or when gaming (especially when streaming). People may also pair it with "d***" or "dayum" (distortion of "d***").

Origin of gyat

The "gyat" (also spelled "gyatt") slang term originated in 2021 when gamers Dosllee and YourRAGE popularized the saying on his streaming channel (as a variation of "god"). They often use gyat to react when an attractive female with a curvy body type enters the chat or stream.

How do people use gyat?

People may use gyat in various contexts to convey surprise. For example, they may tweet "Gyat!" in reaction to a disturbing video on Twitter. Or, they may comment "Gyat" on an impressive dance video on TikTok.

When you are struggling to compose yourself, someone may message you, "GYAT," which stands for "get your act together." You might see it online when messaging, on social media, or in text messages.

For example, if you are arguing with your 10-year-old nephew in a text thread, your sister might text you, "GYAT and shut up!" Or, if you make a thirsty tweet, your friend may tweet back at you, "GYAT!"
